a one level dip gives you medium armour, all weapons and the option to have her main weapon use charisma instead of str or dex... at level 6 it also gives two shots with her blast which may sometimes be worth if charisma is high
the curse is extra damage against one target so best used against a boss with the typical scenario being to run upto the mob; use her action to activate Falar Aluve [shreak] and her bonus action to curse whatever target needs killing most

with both Falar Aluve and curse on the target your sorcerer now magic missiles its ass into the grave so if you don't want your bard up in their faces consider giving Falar Aluve to Lae'zel instead

p.s, yes lore Bard really wants that level 6 but that one level dip gives more normally... a single level is all i would consider because 11-1 bard is so much better than 10-2 without the second magical secrete
