'''Song of Power''' causes the [[bard]] to become a moving [[mana]] node, thereby increasing the mana regeneration rate of anyone in the caster's [[group]]. Specifically, the 'off node' mana recovery is set to what characters would have on a node while the on-node recovery rate increases from 25% to 30% of max mana expressed as [[trunc]] (max mana * 0.3).

However, be warned that the song can be very volatile if sung too long. Many suggest to stop the song after a few song renewals and then restart it.

====Renewal Cost====
15 [[MP]]

Given the high renewal cost compared to casting the Song anew, Bards will find this a prime candidate for stopping before renewal in order to avoid any multi-song penalty.
