Suggestions for Current Proposal:

Proposed Spell:	Current Spell:	Suggestion:
Name: Dissonance (1003) Spell Type: Single target CS attack spell Spell Effect: Disruption Damage Roundtime: 3s Mana Cost: 3 Lore Benefits: ML:Telepathy ML:Manipulation Interactions:	Name: Fortitude Song (1003) Spell Type: Buff Spell Effect: +10DS Roundtime: Lore Benefits: Interactions:	At 5 ranks ML:Manipulation, adds EVOKE'd disruption bolt.
Name: Banshee’s Wail (1008) Spell Type: AoE SMRv2 attack spell/disabler Spell Effect: HP+Unbalance/Impact Damage Roundtime: Lore Benefits: ML:Telepathy ML:Manipulation Interactions: Sonic Armaments (1009) + Dancing Weapon (1025)	Name: Stunning Shout (1008) Spell Type: Single target attack spell Spell Effect: HP+Impact OR Unbalance Damage Roundtime: Lore Benefits: EL:Air Interactions:	Change this to an AoE attack spell/disabler, for an alternative to 410. Move the ML:Manipulation EVOKE'd air bolt to Dissonance (1003) and reduce the lore requirements, allowing earlier access to a bolt spell. Move or include the Sonic Disruption (1035) interaction from Arresting Aria (1012) to Banshee's Wail (1008). At 60 ranks of ML:Manipulation, Sonic Disruption (1035) gains a 2nd-cast effect against targets affected by Arresting Aria (1012) and not killed by the first cast of Sonic Disruption (1035).
Name: Unraveling Cadence (1013) Spell Type: Disabler Spell Effect: Dispel/Mana drain Roundtime: 2s Mana Cost: 5 Lore Benefits: ML:Manipulation Interactions:	Name: Song of Unravelling (1013) Spell Type: Disabler Spell Effect: Dispel/Mana drain Roundtime: Lore Benefits: Interactions:	Due to the speed of combat, change the auto-renewal from 5s to 2s.
Name: Crescendo (1014) Spell Type: Buff "Song" Spell Effect: Crescendo Effect (Auto-Cast before Attack) Roundtime: Lore Benefits: EL:Air Interactions: War Song (1001)	Name: Sonic Armor (1014) Spell Type: Utility Spell Effect: Sonic Armor Roundtime: Lore Benefits: EL:Air Interactions:	The prep and attack function seems ... clunky. Change to "chant crescendo <spellnumber>" so we can just set a spell to cast.
