COMPOSITION CLEAR <composition> <stanza>
COMPOSITION LYRIC <composition> <stanza> <text>
COMPOSITION IMBUE <composition> <stanza> <power|NONE>
PERFORM SONG <composition> [target|SKIP]
SONGSTAT[US]
* All stanza arguments must be intab egers in the range 1-9
As your ability in your song specialization increases, you will be able to compose songs. Compositions are made up of a series of up to nine stanzas. Each stanza must be assigned lyrics, and one of the powers gained via study in music specializations, the rules for which can be found below. These compositions can then be played as songs. The total number of compositions you can have at once is determined by your skill rank in your specialization.
Once you have a composition, it is possible to perform it as a song. Each time you perform a song, you will progress one stanza, and any power associated with that stanza will be activated. A given performnace will last for a set period of time, unless it is performed again before the timer expires. After playing the last stanza in the composition, the song will end. In general, performing a song will always cause a progression of stanzas, though other abilities will allow rewinding or repeating stanzas.
---
Composition powers are divided according to two different categories: level and action type, each explained below:
Level determine into which stanzas in a composition a power can be imbued. Levels come in three flavours: low, mid, and high. Higher level powers generally have stronger effects. Each power has exactly one power level, noted in the corresonding AB file. The valid stanzas for each power level are:
Power Level | Stanzas
---------------------
Low | 1-3
Medium | 4-6
High | 7-9
Action types determine the way in which the power's effects manifets. Action type comes in three flavours: passive, periodic, and active. Powers may have multiple action types. Details for the action types are:
Passive powers are in continuous effect so long as the targets are able to hear the song. Each passive power defines its own set of valid targets, most often either the enemies or allies of a bard, as well as possible unique requirements; see the relevant AB file. Passive powers cannot be repeated in a composition.
Periodic powers perform some active effect on a timer. At each tick of the timer, the power's effect will affect all valid targets able to hear the song. As with passive powers, each period power defines its own set of valid targets and unique requirements; see the relevant AB file for each power. Periodic powers cannot be repeated in a composition.
Active powers perform their effect once when a stanza is first performed. Often, these powers require a target, but this is not necessarily the case. Each active power defines its own unique requirements and target(s); see the relevant AB file. Active powers can be repeated in a composition.
---
To create a composition, the command COMPOSITION NEW <name> is used. Compositions by an individual must all have unique names, but no such restrction exists regarding name clashes of other bards' compositions. The inverse command, COMPOSITION DELETE <composition>, will permanently delete the specified composition.
To view your current list of compositions, use the command COMPOSITION LIST.
To view information about a composition, such as its lyrics and powers, use the COMPOSITION SHOW <composition> command.
COMPOSITION CLEAR <composition> <stanza> will remove the lyrics and power from the specified stanza.
COMPOSITION LYRIC <composition> <stanza> <text> will assign lyrics to the specified stanza. Lyrics cannot exceed 75 characters in length.
To assign a power to a stanza, the command COMPOSITION IMBUE <composition> <stanza> <power|NONE> is used. This command can also be used to remove a power from a stanza without wiping the lyrics. Stanzas cannot be imbued when a given composition is being used to perform a song.
PERFORM SONG <composition> [target] will either begin a song based on that composition (if no song, or a song for a different composition, is being played), or the current song will advance one stanza. In the former case, the song will begin at stanza one; in the latter, the song will advance one stanza - if the song advances past its last stanza, the song ends. In both cases, the expiration timer for the song is reset, and any power imbued in the new stanza is activated. For those powers which require a target, this should be supplied here. Specifying your target as SKIP will ignore any active powers.
To view information about a currently playing song, use SONGSTAT[US]. This will display the current composition being performed, the current stanza, the expiration timer, and possibly additional information from other abilities. Abilities which include additional information will have this noted in their AB file.
WILDARRANE - SUSTAIN

-Currently, most of this skill is not implemented!
-Paranoia is no longer an affliction, so Paranoia 2/4 on AncestralFealty makes me confused.
-Freezing 3/5 is honestly really, really hardcore. Two-shot Unconsciousness, what? This doesn't actually work, because of how spirits work now!
-Summer and Autumn don't have their descriptions match their stated effects for NatureRhythm.
It should be noted that the number of balances/equilibriums to take to do something really isn't indicative of how OP or not OP it may be.
I think having 1/3 universal damage resistance and 1/3 universal damage buff AT THE SAME TIME as 5 spirits attached to the target is too much. There needs to be a cost/benefit to spirits. Either this for that OR this for that. Not both all the time.
And it's not about it being fair, I understand, however, just comparing Shadowbeat to Wildarrane and it's very easy (from a fighter's PoV) to just kinda wtf at the differences. If I could choose to have either Wildarrane or Shadowbeat as a part of my current skills, it would be Wildarrane all the way.
Or the transfix+afflictions that takes five balances? Or the webbing that takes two? I mean, I can see if you could just use the spirits around you directly to use these skills, but you can't
