Is Shauri's one of those fixed duration ones? Or maybe is the wiki not right and is lasting 4 ticks? I get at least 18 seconds each and every time

I was thinking about the 1 minute slow (Angstilch whatever) we get at lvl 60 for classic EQ...I believe everything else is either duration "3 ticks" or instant. There might be a couple exceptions (the self haste Jonathon's might be only 2 ticks...and EB song might be 4) in vanilla...but generally everything is either 3 ticks (server ticks) or instant. I'm fairly sure the wiki is wrong about some of these (e.g. the higher lvl charm song is listed as 18 seconds and not 3 ticks --- which I'm certain is not correct, unless it was changed in the last year...and the lower level charm is listed as 4 ticks --- again not positive without testing).

If you are testing it on invisibility song make sure you only pulse it once...but, if it does come to always 18 full secs regardless of server tick then it also in this category. I've never tested it on the invis song myself, so I'd just have assumed it works on server ticks but maybe not.
