You can use the Occultism skill to Learn Spells and add them to your spell-book by paying the appropriate cost, similar to a wizard.

During your daily preparations, choose any one spell from your book of occult spells. If that spell is already in your spell repertoire, you can treat it as an additional signature spell that day. If it isn't in your repertoire, treat it as though it were until your next daily preparations.

Prerequisites: Maestro Muse

You learn the "Inspire Defense" composition cantrip, which protects you and allies.

You subtly weave your spellcasting into your performance. If the next action you take is to Cast a Spell, Attempt a Performance check against all observers' Perception Dc's. If your Performance check is successful against an observer's Perception DC., That observer doesn't notice that you are Casting a Spell, even though normally spells have sensory manifestations that would make spellcasting obvious to those around you, and verbal, somatic, and material components are extremely overt. You hide all of these as part of an ordinary Performance.

This hides only the spell's spellcasting actions and manifestations, not its effects, so an observer might still see a ray of streak out from your or see you vanish.

You learn the "Triple Time" composition cantrip, which speeds up you and your allies for a round.

Prerequisites: Polymath Muse

Prerequisites: Maestro Muse

You can perform multiple compositions simultaneously. IF your next action is to cast a composition, it becomes a harmonized composition. Unlike a normal composition, a harmonized composition doesn't end if you cast another composition, and you can cast another composition on the same turn as a Harmonized one. Casting another harmonized composition you have in effect.

You don't lose spells easily. If a reaction would disrupt your spellcasting action, attempt a DC 15 flat check. if you succeed, your action isn't interrupted.

Prerequisites: Polymath Muse, master in Occultism

Your broad experiences translate to a range of skills. You add your level to all skill checks in which you are untrained.

Prerequisites: Polymath Muse

You can translate the emotion and power of a composition to other mediums. If your next action is to cast a composition spell, you can use a different kind of performance than usual for the composition to change any of its somatic components to verbal components or vice versa. As usual for composition spells, this changes whether the composition is auditory or visual.

Prerequisites: Esoteric Polymath

Your flexible mind can quickly shift spells. If you add a spell to your repertoire during your daily preparations using Esoteric Polymath, when you prepare again, you can choose to keep the new spell from Esoteric Polymath in your repertoire and instead lose access to another spell of the same level in your repertoire.

Your connection to your muse has granted you unusual focus. If you have spent at least 2 Focus Points since the last time you Refocused, you recover 2 Focus Points when you Refocus instead of 1.

You can quicken your allies with a fast-paced performance. You learn the "Allegro" composition cantrip.

Prerequisites: Focus Pool

You soothe your allies' wounds with the power of your performance. You learn the "Soothing Ballad" composition spell. Increase the number of Focus Points in your focus pool by 1.

Prerequisites: Enigma Muse

Your mind works at an incredible pace. You instantly use up to five Recall Knowledge actions. If you have any special abilities or free actions that would normally be triggered when you Recall Knowledge, you can't use them for these actions.

You can maintain a spell with hardly a thought. You immediately gain the effects of a Sustain a Spell action, allowing you to extend the duration of one of your active bard spells.

Prerequisites: Enigma Muse, Legendary in Occultism

Your continued study of occult magic has increased your magical capacity, allowing you to cast spells even when it seems impossible.

Even before your first turn in a combat encounter, that cantrip is active as if you had cast it on your previous turn.

Prerequisites: Trained in Arcana, Nature, or Religion, Esoteric Polymath.

Your esoteric formulas are so unusual that they allow you to dabble in magic from diverse traditions that other bards don't understand. As long as you're trained in Arcana, you can add arcane spells to your book from Esoteric Polymath; as long as you're trained in Nature, you can add primal spells to your book; and as long as you are trained in religion, you can add divine spells to your book.
