\begin{basicmove}{Arcane Art}
  When you \condition{weave a performance into a basic spell}, choose
  an ally and an effect:

  \begin{itemize}
  \item Heal 1d8 damage
  \item \forward{+1d4} to damage
  \item Their mind is shaken clear of one enchantment
  \item The next time someone successfully assists the target with
    aid, they get +2 instead of +1
  \end{itemize}

  Then roll +CHA. \onSuccess, the ally gets the selected
  effect. \onPartial, your spell still works, but you draw unwanted
  attention or your magic reverberates to other targets affecting them
  as well, GM’s choice.
\end{basicmove}
\

\begin{basicmove}{Bardic Lore}
  Choose an area of expertise:

  \begin{choices}
  \item Spells and Magicks
  \item The Dead and Undead
  \item Grand Histories of the Known World
  \item A Bestiary of Creatures Unusual
  \item The Planar Spheres
  \item Legends of Heroes Past
  \item Gods and Their Servants
  \end{choices}

  When you \condition{first encounter an important creature, location,
    or item (your call) covered by your bardic lore} you can ask the
  GM any one question about it; the GM will answer truthfully. The GM
  may then ask you what tale, song, or legend you heard that
  information in.
\end{basicmove}
\

\begin{basicmove}{Charming and Open}
  When you \condition{speak frankly with someone}, you can ask their
  player a question from the list below. They must answer it
  truthfully, then they may ask you a question from the list (which
  you must answer truthfully).

  \begin{itemize}
  \item Whom do you serve?
  \item What do you wish I would do?
  \item How can I get you to \blank?
  \item What are you really feeling right now?
  \item What do you most desire?
  \end{itemize}

\end{basicmove}
\

\begin{basicmove}{A Port in the Storm}
    When you \condition{arrive at a civilized settlement spoken of in
      lore or song}, tell the GM something you've heard about the
    place. They’ll tell you how it’s changed since the Shattering.
\end{basicmove}
