I wouldn't say that Motion is totally useless. Saturday Night in Runnyeye a
group member got stuck in some boards near water. I memorized motion and
blinked him out. COurse I blinked myself right into the boards but that's
besides the point. Fortunately the group member was also a bard so he
memorized it and blinked me underneath into the water. I then equipped my
flute and blinked out down the passage.
Sure we could have used a succor/evac, but we didn't want to waste the time
travelling all the way back.

Good Journey,

Sineras Silverlyre (Cazic-Thule)

8)The level 14 song DOES have a purpose. With many lore items,
8)and even a few
8)non-lore items you receive a message about the item. For
8)instance, one ogre
8)I happened upon once mentioned someone had given him a human
8)head as a gift,
8)and he wished to know whose it was. With that song I was
8)able to tell him
8)the name of the disgusting little pet head he carried around
8)with him. The
8)song is often useful for getting clues with quest items. I
8)once found a key
8)and used the song to tell me it was a High Hold Strongbox
8)key. Many of the
8)messages you get from items using this song have not been
8)implemented yet
8)(that's what pending lore means!). Bards get a song to learn the lore
8)behind the item, and though the lore might often be
8)pointless, of course
8)bards should know it! So the song is good.
8)
8)Regardless, I use this song more often that Mellifluous
8)Motion! Now THERE's
8)a song I see no purpose for! It seems to function like the
8)old D&D spell
8)Blink, but for it to be useful at all I think it would need its pulses
8)shortened. Otherwise it's just a joke-song, and often a
8)cruel joke at that.

8)The level 14
8)Lore song needs to have a purpose or needs to be replaced
8)period. We simply
8)do not have enough going for us to make pointless songs
8)acceptable. These
8)sudden missed
