It is called Denon's Desperate Dirge, it is level 43, i do not know if an
instrument is used. It supposedly does a radius dmg of 400+ to up to 4
creatures. IT takes all of your mana so that it can not be used too often.
It should be found in freeport and qeynos after the next patch, hopefully
tomorrow night/tuesday morning?!? i do not know if much else is known about
this song. it is the ONLY song that will use mana.
