Playing multiple enchantes. 11/16/2010 07:41 PM CST
Modern musicians play the guitar and sing at the same time. They play the drums while chanting, and some sing while playing a didgeridoo, creating a multi-tone audio experience.

To me, it makes sense that a Bard would be able to play Drums of the Snake while chanting Faenella's Grace. I'd suggest that there is a certain level of skill in music theory & instruments to be able to play multiple enchante's at the same time, but that a modern Bard CAN and so should the Bard's of Elanthia.

Having your favorite guild limited by the mechanics of the game is frustrating, and you can scroll back to the complains about not being able to hum while playing an instrument, same debate here. Bard's would be even more beneficial to have in a group if they were able to play two enchante's simultaneously. Of course their would have to be limits to the possibilities, but that could be addressed by the fact that you cannot play two percussion enchante's, nor a wind & vocal enchante(although the fluteboxer & some didgeridoo players make this questionable),

What are your thoughts? Can this happen? I know it would brighten up my Elanthia experience as a Bard.

Anything that doesn't specifically list "cyclic" in the spell description will be able to be cast with other spells. You may only use one cyclic enchante at a time, but some of our enchantes are moving to non-cyclic so we'll be able to use a lot of them at the same time as they will be regular spells(I think).

No, it's not. The change to enchantes is coming in the form of many of them becoming castable spells. Many will remain cyclical and will remain a one at a time sort of thing, but we'll be a whole lot better off since we can cast the same effects on ourselves via spells while an enchante is running.
