Uhhh, you need to accept the unholy alliance between Bards, Druids, and your
party members. If the Druid has SoW'd everyone, don't use Selos.

No amount of talking about how it is no mana burner, can be enhanced by
drum, etc etc will get it through their skulls. Also, SoW is not tied to the
proximity of the bard - so its prolly a better escape mechanism for party
members.

Selos will cancel their SoW's if you play it and they will get mad at you.
The icons stay on the screen but they wont be running fast. Believe me -
our local druid just got SoW and he loves casting it on everyone and sitting
for 5 min to regen mana. If I hit Selos - and sometimes I do by accident or
out of habit and cancel off their SoW's I might as well camp.

Selos is a good transport thing for the whole party if they understand how
to make best use of it. IE: the bard runs behind everyone. SoW is good for
single players to dash about - making pulls etc.

So finally I decided to un-mem it just so I don't hit it by accident. And
the very next fight... boom Orc Oracle roots me! I probably would have used
it to break the root at the cost of breaking their SoW's - its not like they
were gonna run off anywhere - but instead there I stood rooted and
bellowing.

Anyway, on a related note, apparently you're not supposed to
be able to do
this, but in playing around we managed to stack SOW &
Accelerado. The only
time we could get it to work though was when Accelerado went
into the second
space and SOW in the third.
