Template:Bard Base buff spells

None of these songs can be stacked, as spellsongs are renewed automatically when their initial duration elapses unless otherwise noted. They are also all self-cast, with some songs providing benefits to the bard's group where indicated.

• Fortitude Song (1003): +10 DS against melee, ranged and bolt, self cast.
• Song of Luck (1006): Improves the luck of the bard and their group (e.g. against maneuvers).
• Kai's Triumph Song (1007): +10 AS, available to group.
• Song of Valor (1010): +10 DS against melee, ranged, bolt, aids against sheer fear, self cast.
• Song of Mirrors (1019): +20 Dodge, self cast.
• Song of Tonis (1035): +20 Dodge ranks, -1 second round time, available to group, 60 second duration, not renewed automatically (refreshable).

If these spells are known to you:

• It is typically useful to continue singing 1003, 1006, 1007, 1010 and 1019 while hunting.
• Bards with low total mana might want to stop songs while resting.
• Bards with low total mana might want to avoid 1006 until they acquire more.
• Bards with low total mana might want to stop singing 1007 before song renewal and reapply it after if their renewal cost for this song is greater than seven mana.
• If a bard subjected to the multi-song penalty while hunting, it can also be useful to stop singing 1003 before song renewal and reapply after.
