As your ability in your song specialization increases, you will be able to compose new songs. You can write your own song and sets it in stanzas. Each song can consist of up to 9 stanzas, and certain powers can also be invested in each stanza. Powers are divided into 3 types Low (L), Medium (M) and High (H). Low types can only invested in stanzas 1-3, medium in stanzas 4-6 and High in stanzas 7-9. Low stanzas generally have simple effects, medium stanzas have stronger effects, and high stanzas have very strong effects. Some song powers need to be targetted and others will create a passive effect that stays around you. As a general rule, you will not be able to stack passive effects.

The power cost is 2 power for each affliction the victim has from among: manabarbs, powerspikes, egovice, and an achromatic aura. If the hapless victim suffers all four of these tonal disorders, their suffering shall be grievous indeed - losing half their mana and ego in addition to immense pain.

This little ditty must be directed at a drunken target. It will cause that person to dance like a fool, resulting in a balance loss, the length of which depends on how inebriated the target is. Afterwards, however, the sober reality of what they did reduces the target's drunken state significantly.
