The Intoner

Source: Hexbound

Bards of the College of Witchcraft are called Intoners. They specialize in calling spirits through the use of songs. Intoners do not use musical instruments other than their own voices to cast their magic, and as a result must train their vocal chords rigorously for them to withstand the arcane energy required to summon spirits. The training takes years, as mastering any branch of witchcraft often does. The Intoners of the College of Witchcraft keep the secrets of their arcane songs to themselves. These songs are charged with magical energy so that their sounds can pierce through the veil between the planes, reaching the astral home of spirits where the living cannot tread. The songs are then used as invitations — or lures — for specific spirits to cross the veil and manifest themselves in a specific location. With these spirits, the Intoner dominates the flow of battle, invoking specific spirits to change the tempo of the battlefield to their whim.

###Witchmark
Witchmarks for Intoners are usually placed on the neck or chest to signify how their voices have been altered and enhanced with arcane energy through witchcraft. Some Intoners have thin vertical lines that go from the bottom of their chin to the center of their chest to simulate the strings of a violin, and these move when they sing as if they were being plucked. Other Intoners use the musical sheet of a song that has a lot of emotion - al significance to them as their witch - marks. The f-shaped holes on the body of a violin, or the lyrics to a particularly personal song are also common witchmarks for Intoners.

Spiritual Knowledge

At 3rd level, you can use your voice to commune with the spirits that dwell beyond the veil and ask for their wisdom. At the end of a long or short rest, you can spend 10 minutes singing a song that draws forth a specific spirit to grant you additional proficiencies:

• Farmer: Proficiency with Land Vehicles
• Healer: Proficiency with Healer’s Kit
• Pirate: Proficiency with Navigator’s Tools and Water Vehicles
• Scholar: Proficiency in an additional language of your choice
• Thespian: Proficiency with Disguise Kit
• Thief: Proficiency with Thieves’ Tools

This does not give you any tools, only the proficiencies in using them. You lose every proficiency or language you have acquired through this ability when your hit points are reduced to 0, or after the next long rest.
