The Songstress Class focuses on charm and a combination of Magikal/influence/misdirection. Their moves are laced with Magik and something else, but their talants are far from just Magik heavy like a Mage might be.
Below is a list of advantages and disadvantages you pick to replace advantages/disadvantages you might have or simply add to your character's list for flavor. For every advantage you pick you have to pick a disadvantage, however.
You can also choose to replace one of your character's racial excel and decel stats with one of the Mage's choices.
Excel Stats: Charisma, Mind, Perception (1 level up gives you 10 points in each.)
Detriment Stats: Strength, Health, Stamina (2 level ups give you 5 points in each.)
Class Advantages/Disadvantages:
Advantage: You are naturally charismatic; you are able to charm low level monsters without even bothering to sing and wasting Mana.
Advantage: You can charm low level NPC/guards into doing what you want and getting items you need.
Disadvantage: Sometimes monsters focus on you because of your unique aura and that's bad. Very bad.
Disadvantage: Because of your Charisma, you sometimes draw unwanted attention at bad times.
When you reach Lv. 25 with the Songstress, they can either be upgraded to First Wizard Class or Siren Class.
If you have an idea for a talent/ability/skill not listed below you fill fits into the Class listed, speak with the GM to create it. If it too advanced, he might just inform you it will go into the Advanced Class version of the Class.
Talents:
1) Gracefulness of a Goddess: The Songstress' body is honed and able to move gracefully like a dancer or goddess, drawing the eyes of many with her movements. This brings many unique tiers of talents for her to exploit from others, as well as allowing the player to make a few of their own.
Tier 1 - Graceful Hips: Your hip movements draw the attention of many, especially when you dance; this allows you to distract when you dance, but it also gives you the benefit of extroadinary movement and gracefulness in everyday movement.

If you can't figure it out, the GM will tell you. 1 Class Level cost
Tier 3 - Agility of a Dancer: Being a singer, your tempo and movement has a beat to it that allows you to move in and out of crowds and rooms, matching the beat and life of the situations around you.

4) Mimicry: The Songstress can mimic things they hear due to their fantastic hearing capabilities and ability to follow pitches and tones in voices/songs. While a female might have trouble mimicing a male's voice, it's not beyond them to do so with some manipulation.

5) Recognition: Even in the pitch black of night or hell itself, a Songstress can identify someone by their voice - or if they've only seen an enemy by their body language they can identify them. A Songstress' life is song and body language, intertwined together, and so they see and identify people by them. Below are some tiers that go hand in hand with this.
Tier 1 - Vocal Recognition: If you hear someone speak, you are likely to remember it. The more you hear their voice, the more likely you are to memorize it and hear it later. Especially if it has unique tonal shifts to it. 1 Class Level cost
Tier 2 - Body Language Day: Spotting someone's body language in the daylight is simple enough to memorize. The more unique their body language is - especially if it's more graceful even in a soldier like way - the more likely it is to stand out to you. The more light there is, the more it will be memorized by you. 1 Class Level cost
Tier 3 - Body Language Night: Spotting someone's body language in the night is more difficult to memorize. The more unique their body language is - especially if it's more graceful even in a soldier like way - the more likely it is to stand out to you. The more light there is, the more it will be memorized by you, but this tier ensures you have a chance at night . 1 Class Level cost
Tier 4 - Body Recognition Details: If there is something unique about the body details you have memorized from the above tiers that can be used against the person, and you use this tier to ask the GM privately, he will give you the information. 2 Class Level cost

6) Detection: The Songstress has excellent detection abilities with their senses - through senses of distance and with the ability to tell lies through tonal shifts. The tiers below split up both talents amongst them.
Tier 1 - Vocal Lie Detection I: You are able to detect lies vocally 25% of the time. 1 Class Level cost
Tier 2 - Vocal Lie Detection II: You are able to detect lies vocally 50% of the time. This overrides Tier 1. 1 Class Level cost
Tier 3 - Body Lie Detection: You are able to detect lies through one's body 25% of the time in addition to the previous tier too so you can use it with Tier 2. 1 Class Level cost
Tier 4 - Distance Detection: With their distance senses, a Songstress can detect sooner than most if someone is approaching if they are making noises due to their excellent hearing. This is harder on them if the prey is silent or has stealth skills. The more noises the approaching person makes, the easier the Songstress can detect them. 2 Class Level cost
Tier 5 - Close Range Detection: If a stealthy person somehow gets close enough to a Songstress without making a sound, they can sometimes still detect them due to the heartbeat they produce and lack of void - meaning, the fact they're filling in a space and that throws off a Songstress' tempo. 2 Class Level cost

Abilities:
1) Song of Shields: The Songstress is able to sing a song to form shields around herself and others; depending on the length and pitch of the song she's able to strengthen and cast different versions of the song.
Lv. 1: By singing quickly with no thought, the Songstress is able to throw up a shield to protect herself or others instantly from an attack - the problem is that it shatters the moment it is hit from a magikal or physical hit and knocks the Songstress off balance. This is meant for quick protect. They will need a few minutes before they can do this level again. Mana Cost: 100 / 1 Class Level Cost
Lv. 2: By singing the song for shields, the Songstress can protect herself and another with a more fully developed shield that can take more damage - each blow eating up more mana from her shield. The initial mana cost is listed next to the level cost and each blow blow will eat up a bit more. She can add additional people for 150 Mana to the shield. When she runs out of mana or quits singing, the shield will vanish. Mana Cost: 300 / 1 Class Level Cost
Lv. 3: By changing the tempo, the Songstress can form a barrier that is of an element of her choice, allowing her to purposely protect herself or another from a particular kind of magik attack. This is not meant for physical attacks/general magik attacks and this tempo allows her to counter specific magik moves. Each magik move will eat up more of her mana as it hits, but if it's the opposite element of her shield it will be lessened; if the enemy changes elements and she ahs to change her tempo, it will cost the same amount of mana listed to change the tempo to a new element. To add more people it will cost 150 Mana each time she adds more people outside herself and another. Mana Cost: 400 / 1 Class Level Cost

Lv. 3: This works the same as Level 2 but works on anyone. It can only be done on one person at a time. 1 Class Level cost
Lv. 4: This allows the Songstress to target more than one person at once. This will mend outer damage and close bleeding wounds/mend torn flesh but not touch inner damage done. It costs about 100 mana per 10 seconds per person that the Songstress adds but it mends fairly quickly.

Lv. 3: Song of Perception: This song will allow you to read a person's feelings and emotions. As you are singing it, you will be able to see into their heart and know what makes them tick on an emotional and personal level.
