Since we have the ability to locate, there is some precedent for a Summon
Corpse equivalent, although I think Verant want to keep that as Necro-only.

So a similar song that is useless enough for us to actually get:

A song that summons the bard to the targeted corpse - a cross between
Lyssa's Locating Lyric and Melanie's Mellifluous Motion. Quit laughing and
hear me out. First you would target the live player and use Lyssa's
Locating Lyric to target his corpse regardless of where it is in the zone.
Then you would play this song and summon yourself (*squisha*) to that
corpse. The catch is that this song would be only a trinket though unless
Verant added the feature that this *one song* did not cancel Invis or Invis
vs. Undead. This would give us a similar ability to Necros with much more
danger to the bard (Verant would like that), plus it would be useless in
some high level dungeons and the Planes where everything can see you
regardless. This, therefore, would not lessen the need for a Necro in those
really sticky situations like Planes and Dragon corpse retrievals.
