SONGSTAT, SONGSTATUS
As your ability in your song specialization increases, you will be able
to compose new songs. You can write your own song and set 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.
When playing a custom song, it always begins in stanza 1, each time you
play the song, it progresses to the next stanza until the song ends or
you change to another song or a certain amount of time elapses,
whichever comes first. Note that before the time elapses, you can take
other actions so long as you continue your performance before the time
elapses.

suffering shall be grievous indeed - losing half their mana and
ego in addition to immense pain.

Comments
1. BlueBerceuse (gemmed)
2. AureolinAbuade (gemmed)
3. CrimsonCourante (gemmed) for Tarot, OR JadeGrazioso otherwise.
4. MidnightMinuet (gemmed if not Tarot)
5. FleckedFortissimo
6. Cresendo
7. RedRubato
8. StratusSerenade
9. EmeraldGrazioso OR SkySforzando
That's Auric 1/4, Neurosis 1/4, Balance Malus 1/3, balance losses and damage based on Auric level. AureolinAbuade is a tricky call. It isn't a good effect with the gem and is even worse without, but your only other option for Low Stanza is JadeGrazioso. Depending on how big the effect is, you might be convinced to swap it out and put the gem on RedRubato or SkySforzando.
If you're a tarotist, you really want CrimsonCourante and lots of aeon flings, and you probably should be a tarotist because none of your attacks synergize with glamours.
