Grouping with a good enchanter can be frustrating.
You can't sing damage songs because they break Mezz.
You can't sing Anthem because it overwrites alacraty
(spelling). You can't use Largo's or chain because
that interferes with their Slow spell.
I usually sing COB, Psalm or warmth and Hymm. Not
much else you can do at that point...
Stupid bard, Shada? I think not -- I always make a
point of reading certain posts and yours are always
among those.
