I think they split up Selo's and Clouding on purpose. I seem to recall GZ
stating that Solon's was intentionally coded so that singing another song
with it would interrupt it. Then again maybe they'll let up on that since
this _is_ an over-50 song. I like the idea but I doubt they'll let us have
a song that is _THAT_ useful. ;)

That's 1 dungeon. Sure there will be other zones. But I'd rather not give
Verant the idea to give us _just_ charm animal. We _deserve_ an upgrade to
our current _unrestricted_ charm. Why accept something less? If you think
about it there are FAR more places _without_ lvl 37+ animals than places
with them. I'd rather not have yet another song that I will rarely use when
I already have one that's better :(

Uhh
Nivs = 15hp / tic. Hymn = 17hp/tic this=35hp/tic
Total= roughly 70hp/tic
I seriously doubt Verant will go for something like this that, on top of all
that, throws on Clarity, a spell shield, and whatever else nivs does.
