Bards are enigmatic.  I wish I had more documentation on them.  They are 
apt at missile weapons, but I don't know how much of this is by design 
or just where the numbers ended up.  In Wiz 8 they become more powerful 
because they can gain spells in the Wizardry skill.  Also, there's a 
musical instrument sitting around in the Monastery.

I think the error here is assuming Sleep is better than some of the 
other flavors.  In Wiz 7 I have ample casters of Sleep.
