Song of Power (1018)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Song of Power causes the bard to become a moving mana node, thereby increasing the mana regeneration rate of anyone in the caster's group. Specifically, the 'off node' mana recovery is set to what characters would have on a node while the on-node recovery rate increases from 25% to 30% of max mana expressed as trunc (max mana * 0.3).
However, be warned that the song can be very volatile if sung too long. Many suggest to stop the song after a few song renewals and then restart it.
Renewal Cost
15 MP
Given the high renewal cost compared to casting the Song anew, Bards will find this a prime candidate for stopping before renewal in order to avoid any multi-song penalty.
