Other Details
  • If the caster chooses to perform, their performance is the chant and must meet all the requirements for chants. The caster must also do their best to avoid confusion on the battlefield by declaring that they are using Song of Power to potential aggressors or anyone who might be confused. It should be clear whether someone is performing for Song of Power or just for the fun of it.
  • The effects of multiple Songs of Power do not stack.
