I'm a little unsure if the granted powers balance with the selection of spells available, hence especially the two possible options for Music. I'm not quite sure if these domain spell lists are objectively "powerful" or not and would like some other opinions. Would a character be overpowered or sold short with one of these domains? Please share any thoughts, comments, constructive criticism, etc.

ARTS DOMAIN
Granted Power: You gain a +2 bonus to one Craft skill and one Perform skill of your choice. These two skills are always considered class skills for you.

2 Minor Image

MUSIC DOMAIN
Granted Power: Add two from Perform (dance), Perform (keyboard instruments), Perform (percussion instruments), Perform (sing), Perform (string instruments), or Perform (woodwind instruments) to your list of class skills.
You can create a countersong as a bard of your class level once per day. You must use one of the skills listed above (except dance) in which you have at least three ranks.

Both are looking good. The music domain is maybe to powerful with the 2 skills version.

I would add Oghma to that domain, possibly Lliira as well. Though she is more of a dance goddess. Looks really good though.
