Spells: Dancers take spells from the bard spell list, except all of their spells require somatic components, but do not require verbal components.

Minimum charisma for casting spells is equal to 10 + the spell level.

If a dancer is using a continuous dance and attempting to cast a spell, they must make a performance check (DC 10 + double the spell level). If the performance check fails, they lose the spell while the dance continues.

A dancer casts arcane spells drawn from the bard spell list. She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. Every dancer spell has a somatic component instead of verbal components, as a dancer conveys their power through dance. To learn or cast a spell, a dancer must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a dancer's spell is 10 + the spell level + the dancer’s Charisma modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a dancer can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on the Dancer table above. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Charisma score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells).

The dancer's selection of spells is extremely limited. A dancer begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of the dancer's choice. At each new dancer level, she gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Dancer Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a dancer knows is not affected by her Charisma score. The numbers on Table: Dancer Spells Known are fixed.)
