You play a spritely tune that puts a skip in the step of your companions. When you cast this spell, you gain a number of spell-song points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. Before the spell ends, you can expend spell-song points (no action required) when certain conditions are met to weave your melodic magic into the action.

• When a creature within 30 feet who can hear you starts its turn, you can expend a spell-song point to double its movement speed until the end of the turn.

• When a creature within 30 feet who can hear you takes the Attack action or casts a spell on its turn, you can expend a spell-song point to allow it to use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, or Use an Object action on the same turn.

• When a creature within 30 feet who can hear you is targeted by an attack, you can expend a spell-song point to give the creature a +2 to AC until the end of the turn.

Until the spell ends, you can take an action on your turn to gain up to your spellcasting modifier in spellsong points. You can only take this action three times each casting of this spell. You lose all remaining spellsong points immediately when this spell ends.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can take the action to gain spell-song points an additional time per slot level above 3rd.
