To my charcater the ToT willl for personal reasons have double inpact.

1) She is an innate spallcaster. But i read arcane magic becomes wild magice and divine magic falls away, unless the deity of the character is near. How exactly does that effect bards?
2) With Mystra dying, and dpending how it is communicated to the players and their characters, there may be a loss of faith. How can we players find out about it?

How about Garagos' resurrection during the TOT. Will that also become public knowledge?

Um... I'm not aware of Garagos being dead currently, he's an exarch under Tempus' wheelhouse (sorta). I can't remember if he gets a slight upgrade or not, but AFAIK, he's not dead currently and is an avatar around in the ToT just like everyone else.

History

During the age of Netheril, Garagos was part of the Netherese pantheon and was known as Targus. Some time around or shortly after the fall of Netheril, the interloper deity Tempus managed to slay Garagos. Survived by die-hard followers in several regions surrounding the Sea of Fallen Stars and a church in Westgate, Garagos mysteriously and unexpectedly reappeared in Westgate's harbor during the Time of Troubles. Much quicker to anger and slower to show mercy than he was before his death, Garagos found most of his followers in brigands, bandits, and priests of the Deities of Fury who paid him lip service in battle.

In 1368 DR, Garagos appeared personally to slay a marilith named Glackzana who was building a temple to herself in his guise.

This always read to me that he's still technically alive but his faith is small. Though I can also see it as meaning he died and his faithful remained as such which brought him back at ToT? I dunno... As of our server canon he's a selectable god for divine casters so I'd say he's currently alive, though could be argued I suppose that it's another god giving him spells.

Long though slain, Garagos reappeared in the recent past, either awakened from ageless slumber or resurrected by a devoted cult of worshipers. His newest incarnation seems utterly devoid of the craftiness he once possessed. Instead, Garagos is a being of idiot rage, a violent six-armed whirlwind of carnage that seems to exist only to destroy. It is believed these changes to his mentality forced him to move his divine realm from chaotic Limbo to the more dour/insane Pandemonium, either that or he was secretly in love with someone (it is not mentioned who, although his clergy are forbidden from acting against the church of Shar) and the move to Pandemonium represented him giving up all hope. Others say that Garagos had just started his decline into pure evil, with his realm moving with him.
