The Bard class is a classic character from Dungeons & Dragons and has been a part of Baldur's Gate 3 since Early Access. Today, Bards continue to grace the world of Faerun with their artistic talents to present magical effects.

In Baldur's Gate 3, Bards are able to cast Cantrips and Spells through their creative expression. Known as the master of song, speech, and magic, they specialize in the Charisma Ability giving them an edge when it comes to persuading others.
Bards have their own list of spells and cantrips accessible to them through leveling up the character. They have the option to choose their path to undertake once they reach Level 3.

The new spell additions to Magical Secrets are amazing (note that in PnP, bards can choose ANY spell at the appropriate level, so it makes sense to add even more spells). Hunger of Hadar is one of the best CC spells in the game at spell level 3 (obtained at level 6 College of Lore bard), and Banishing Smite is one of the best spells period, which Paladins can only obtain at class level 17 since they're half casters and it's a level 5 spell. Bards of any college have always been able to get it at class level 10 through Magical Secrets (before the "native" paladin class), because as full casters they can already use level 5 spells at that class level. In BG3 though, because the level cap is 12, Paladins will NEVER get Banishing Smite, so the ONLY way to use is through Bard! 5d10 damage + banish? Count me in!

So it would seem you can get 1 level of wizard and learn spells up to your spell level, I just taught my bard a spell!

Bards are excellent supports... even when they're not in your Party! Certain Spells are permanent until your next Long Rest and do not require Concentration. This means yo u can have your Bard cast things like Longstrider and Freedom of Movement, then play a little diddy as Bardic Inspiration... for each of your actual party members. Then you're truly ready for the day.

longstrider can be cast as a ritual at no cost which is amazing

the fact the bard is the only one who can use banish smite, is the proof that bardadin is canon.
