This post was made in Bard Talk (Part Three) by Absor:

All bard effects stack. This is so universal that there is special code
that says if caster = bard, stack. That's why cantana will go up when
C2 is up, because ALL bard songs stack. Enchanters don't have the same
code, and C2 is 1 mana/tick weaker than cantana so it won't overwrite,
thus C2 bounces.

Absor - A couple of comments after looking at the Enchanter thread:
Illusions can't be removed except by: a) waiting them out, b) casting dispell on yourself (which may remove other buffs) or c) zoning. I would really HATE it if you caused illusions to continue from zone-to-zone unless you added the ability to remove the illusion by clicking on it.

Some of our songs (Cantata, 55, for example) stack with spells (Clarity and Clarity 2 in this case), but they have to be applied in the correct order. The spell has to be applied, then the song can be sung. We have to stop the song in order for the spell buff to be applied if we are already singing it.

It would be nice if we didn't have to do this, but please be VERY careful if you do. I would hate to have you make it so that the Enchanter spell can be cast while the song is active by overwriting the song, and having the song have no effect unless we stop and start it again. That would be worse than the current case. I never play with spells on, I'd have no clue when I should do this.

Could you re-appraise our mana drain songs (35 and 57)? Tests in PvP (of the level 35 song admittedly) shows it taking about 10 minutes to completely drain a high level player, much less a mob. Instrument does not increase the mana drain either even though an instrument is supposed to be able to be used with the song. The drain rate can effectively be canceled out by Clarity2 (enc) plus Cantana (bard 55).
