I don't know if those of you that keep proposing songs that use mana are aware of these facts:

1) Bards meditate never goes above 10 skill
2) Bards are immune to the effects of Clarity and Manasong
3) Bards don't have very much mana to begin with

I bring these points up because our mana is very limited. We already have one song that burns our entire mana bar. I really don't want to see _any_ of our songs using mana. We are already horribly restricted in that we can only keep 2, 3 or (for those with powerhouse systems) 4 songs running at a time.

Please don't propose mana costs in our songs unless you also propose that our meditate cap be removed and our immunity to clarity effects be removed.

Personally I play a bard because I don't have/need to meditate. I _loathe_ sitting on my can waiting for mana. I stopped playing casters completely because of it and once my ranger hit 34th I got so sick of it I started another bard on Rallos.

Thanks!
