PIERCING SYMPHONY

Level:     B17
Cost:      20 Mana (initiation), 5 Mana per round (upkeep)
Prompt:    ♫ PS ♫

A sustained battle harmony that tears open a bleeding acoustic wound on an
enemy and keeps it bleeding continuously for as long as the song is played.
Rather than dealing upfront burst damage, the symphony inflicts an ongoing 15%
bleed each combat round (automatically shifting to your next opponent if your
target falls), and ends when you stop playing.

If a ninja coats the bleeding target with Caustic Ash, the harmonic vibrations
react violently with the ash, raising the bleed to 25% per round.

Usage: play 'piercing symphony' [<target>]
       stop ps

Details:
The bleed's base damage scales with the bard's level, Charisma, Strength, and
damroll.
