Shada, you may be right about Song of Dawn. I made the arrogant mistake of never trying it, since for the
last five or so levels, I've found it next to impossible to aggro the primary target, very easy to ditch
it if I do, and I assumed it would not be worth the bother for secondaries. I suppose if it lowers you
far enough on the list, other factors (like proximity) take over, so maybe it works even if nobody else
has aggroed a MOB directly. Even if true, I have other things I'd rather twist, but I may try it if I do
bigger stuff.
As for the other four, I've actually memmed them. I didn't say they were worth much, but I've used all
four of them:

... and the Nostrolo Tambourine and VP key quests. There's a few other things that people like to
identify as well. I'm not sure that they NEED to, but I get asked occasionally. In some ways, this is
really artificial. They put the identical-appearing components in the game in order to make the song (and
the spell) have a purpose, which is kind of ass-backwards.

It has sometimes helped me get people unstuck from places. It doesn't work great for that, but it
sometimes does the trick.

I don't know if this works this way, but my theory is that if you knock a MOBs WIS and INT down right off
the bat (before they cast) that shrinks their mana by a proportional amount. If they work like PCs, they
don't regain the mana even when the WIS and INT is restored when the song wears off. The mana drain
component is so small that I don't bother with it for that, but if I have an open song slot, I will fire
it as a first salvo against casting MOBs. Of course, I have no way to test whether or not it does any
good... :(

Yeah, now that's a stupid song. Especially as a reward for level 59. I didn't list it because I don't
have it to not mem yet. :)
