Mechanics
Song Duration
activeDuration = baseDuration × (1 + total learned song duration bonuses)
Active Song Limit
maximumActiveSongs = 2 + learned Polyphony bonus
A Bard can sustain two songs by default. Learning Polyphony raises the limit to three. Starting a song while at the current limit ends the oldest active song.
Song Scaling
songPower = 1 + min(max(CHA, 0) × 0.001, 2)
final value = round(base value at skill level × songPower)
Effective Cast Time = castTime − (castTime × spellHaste)
