I gotta be honest, I would starve before I subject my co-workers to highly odorous foods in an enclosed cubicle space. Working in an office sucks bad enough but stuff like that is just indefensible to me.

its kinda meaningless I suppose when they use charisma to cast spells? Being a persuasive person makes you good at learning spells and casting them? 5th ed commonly divorces rationals from the system. They simply want things to be a certain way and then leave it to us to try and imagine a reason for why it makes any sense.

Power Source isn't much of a thing anymore, but the Bard and Words of Creation, well that's tied to the Language Primeval concept from previous editions along with the Last Word in Planescape's Dead Gods adventure that Orcus as Teneborous used to kill Primus and Maanzecorian.

What is the bard's power source?

As is well-known and cannot be disputed, bards are energy vampires that feed off the emotional energy of the rest of us. Much like the internet troll or your co-worker who cooks fish in the microwave and is always saying, "Hot enough for ya?" and "Looks like you have a case of the Mondays!"

What powers you ask? I don't know, how about the power of flight
That do anything for ya? It's levitation, Holmes
How about the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away
With mind bullets, that's telekinesis Kyle
How about the power to move you
