Ventriloquism is the art of throwing one's voice onto nearby objects, people or critters. [[Bard]]s and [[Thieves]] are both capable of learning techniques for throwing their voice. While Bards of sufficient skill can learn from [[teacher is::Malik]] in [[Shard]], Thieves must be trained by a Bard. There are some differences between the voice throws available to members of each guild.
[[Thieves]] of a certain level are also able to utilize these techniques when taught by a trained Bard. Their techniques vary slightly from those of a Bard, to suit their particular needs.
