Selos, SoW, SoC, Consonant Chain, Snare, Enstill, Grasping Roots etc, all
cancel out like effects, first in, first out.
So, Selos will cancel root for any member in the party, while leaving the
root icon in place for the normal duration.
You can also break yourself out of root indoors, by casting Consonant Chain
on yourself. Sure, you move *very* slow, but at least you're moving..;)
I've also blasted myself off a ledge while rooted, using Bellow. Bought me
enough time to escape as the mobs ran around and down to get at me again,
and hurt less than the pounding they were giving me.
