Bard: College of Spirits

Bards of the College of Spirits seek tales with inherent power - be they legends, histories, or fictions - and bring their subjects to life. Using occult trappings, these bards capture spiritual embodiments of powerful forces to change the world once more. Such spirits are capricious, though, and what a bard summons isn't always under their control.
Guiding Whispers 3rd level College of Spirits feature You can reach out to spirits to aid you and others. You learn the Guidance cantrip, which doesn't count against the number of bard cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 60 feet when you cast it.
Spiritual Focus 3rd level College of Spirits feature You employ tools to aid you in channelling spirits, be they historical figures or fictional archetypes. You can use the following objects as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells; a candle, crystal ball, skull, spirit board, tarot / tarokka deck, runes, special bones, carved sticks. Starting at 6th level, when you cast a bard spell that deals damage or restores hit points through the Spiritual Focus, roll a d6, and you gain a bonus to one damage or healing of the spell equal to the number rolled.
Tales From Beyond 3rd level College of Spirits feature You reach out to spirits who tell their tales through you. While you are holding your Spiritual Focus, you can use a bonus action to expend one use of your basic Bardic Inspiration and roll on the Spirit Tales table using your Bardic Inspiration die to determine the tale the spirits direct you to tell. You retain the tale in mind until you bestow the tale's effect or you finish a short or long rest. You can use one action to choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you (this can be you) to be the target of the tale's effect. Once you do so, you can't bestow the the tale's effects again until you tell it again. You con only retain one of these tales in mind at a time, and rolling on the Spirit Tales table immediately ends the previous tale. If the tale requires a saving throw, the DC equals your spell save DC.

SPIRIT TALES Storytellers, like bards of the College of Spirits, often give voice to tales inspired by some greater theme or body of work. When determining which stories to tell, consider what unites them. Do they all feature character from a specific group, like archetypes from the Tarot / Tarokka deck, figures from constellations, childhood imaginary friends, or characters from a particular storybook? Or are your inspirations more general, incorporating historic champions, mythological heroes, or urban legends? Use the tales you tell to define your niche as a storytelling adventurer.
