The night whispers to my bard, tells secrets dark and foul. Yes, the bard/dervish I mentioned some(*ahem* every-)where has been converted to a follower of a dark god, and is about to embrace the Shadow weave.
What I'm asking for is:
Some nice bard songs/spells that deal with sadness, loss, darkness and shadows.
So, game mechanics in mind, the preferred schools of magic are Enchantment (of course), Illusion (no surprise there) and Necromancy (not that undead-creating, but mind-affectin sort). In addition, any spells with Darkness or Shadow descriptor are acceptable.
Just point out the most obvious things.

Hmmmm one of my favourite spells in Necromancy is the one called Wrack. I know's it's available to Wizards/Sorcerers, but I know not if bards can use it. The spell can be found in 'The Book of Vile Darkness'. I don't have it with me atm, but the spell basically wracks the victim with pain so intense that he helplessly collapses and is rendered temporarily blind. It's rather sadistic, so it might fit this char of yours  |
