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)

Resist Chance

clamp(
  target.magicResist × 0.0005
  + clamp((target.level − caster.level) × 0.005, −0.1, 0.1)
  − caster.accuracy
, 0, 0.9)

Cleanse Resistance

A matching cleanse removes this debuff completely in a single cast.

Effective Cast Time = castTime − (castTime × spellHaste)
