i bet if they had this ability when dirge was implemented they would have
used it then instead of mana. i really like the idea, except for the fact
that we would have to keep this song memmed all the time if we really wanted
to use it, since it will take 15 minutes to be able to sing it after it is
memmed, and i have enough trouble deciding which 8 songs to use. i would
however be much more likely to have it as a often memmed song with a 15
minute timer rather than using 800 mana.
