Example Messaging:	You give sudden voice to the warm chanting in your thoughts, as you release an accompaniment of elemental fire into the piece. The opening syllables quickly intensify into a more savage theme. Roundtime: 3 sec. The flames land a heavy strike to an enraged tusky's back! The flames land a good hit to a zombie stomper's right arm! The flames land a good hit to a zombie stomper's right leg! You build the final notes of Phoenix's Pyre with an upward scale that rises into a steep crescendo, and end with an abrupt silence. With Will of Winter You give sudden voice to the frigid chanting in your thoughts, as you release a duet of elemental fire and water into the piece. The opening syllables quickly intensify into a more savage theme. With barely a pause for breath, you neatly segue to the verse of the Phoenix's Pyre. Your scales warm tangibly as you bite off each of the words with a fierceness that seems to incite the very air around you to anger as a conflux of flame and frost is born about you. The admixture of flames and frost lands a very heavy hit to an enraged tusky's chest! The elemental maelstrom crashes over a zombie stomper, but it is unharmed.

Notes

• Area effect pulsing fire/impact damage, weighted towards fire.
• Being under the effects of Will of Winter will change it to fire/cold damage weighted equally.
• Both versions cause naphtha to flare up when the spell hits a body part that is doused with naphtha. Both also increase the duration and damage of the ignited naphtha.
• The bard will appear in the room look as "<Player> who is surrounded by swirling flames."
• When using the Will of Winter form you will instead appear as "<Player> who is surrounded by an elemental maelstrom."
• Causes charges of endangering the public when used in justice areas.
• Elemental Efficacy with Fire. This changes to be a hybrid of both Fire and Water when upgraded by Will of Winter.
