What level can bards begin swarming?

[Axlrose]

I must be the only bard in the game that does not swarm kite but goes in swinging weapons and using songs as enhancements (yes, I've been told across my numerous characters that I do not "play" this game correctly).

The masks are probably meant to be 'costumes' of a sort."

To add to this great suggestion would be the various masks are used to spy on the world and report their findings through the whole "mail quests". How would a bard hear the local chatter of a Dark Elf tavern except being disguised as one? Report what was heard and another person carries the news to the head of the bard guilds. The two entities that despise these proceedings - both Mayong Mistmoore and the dragons to the Ring of Scale, are power corrupted and do not want the mere peasants (the player character races) to be educated, much less informed.

Just a wild idea I always considered when I first received my dark elf mask on Live.
