so now we have to add the haste sash, and whether an enchanter's spell needs
to be cast before or after we start singing. get to work! =P j/k, but
would be nice to know. also, are there any cancellation effects? will our
songs cancel the enchanter's spell, or just give the stat bonuses of the
song without the attack speedup?
