I spoke to some Verant people about this at the Fan Faire, and this is how they explained it to me:
Lets say you have been inflected with a high level poison or disease spell. Lets say that spell has a "number" value of 100, thus counting down over time until the effect has been run its course.
Spells that "cure" these effects, also have a "number" value, basically subtracting away from the time that is left on the poison or disease effect. For example, lets say a casters version of "Cure Disease" carries a number value of "75". In most cases, you would be cured in the first cast. Since Bard Songs only have a short durration (6-18 seconds), you are forced to recast all the time. Since this is the case, a Bard's version of "Cure Disease" carries a number value of "5", thus taking more casts to subtract the "number value" of the disease spell.
The number ratio's are just purly for example. I do not know the offcial ratios of any spells, or songs, nor would anyone from Verant tell me.
I hope this helps all you Bards out there, that think this song is broken, because its not.
