I tried this tonight in a party in lower guk. It worked nicely except it
seems to have a nasty interaction bug with the Guise of the Deceiver
Dark Elf illusion. One of the people I party with is a Troll and the
Dark Elf illusion has been a godsend for dungeon crawling, as it's
fairly obvious that most dungeons weren't really designed to fit the
large races very well. However, when the Psalm ended, it also killed my
Troll friend's ultravision in Dark Elf mode. Weird bug. Psalm only does
7 dmg at L47 though, so it's not a huge loss, but as you point out,
those points add up in a long fight with a fast hitting mob.
