Hehe, I carry 2 stacks of Jasper and 2 stacks of Bloodstones - and have for
the past 10 levels. BYO_Reagents and your healer/buff types are more than
willing to cast w/o all the drivel about "only the tanks get symbols..."
(This is an excellent tip I got off this list! Thanks for posting it!)

But - my suggestion was to basically give the bard:

a) target ony (got to select some one)
b) single pulse song that casts (like charillion song - one shot is all
thats needed)
c) a symbol buff or rune (using one of the reagents - pls pls NOT peridot!)

And then you'd only worry about carrying as many stones as your basic
cleric/pallidan/enchater does. Maybe you'd always have a good supply. Or
maybe you'd have a hot key: "only the bard gets a symbol buff because...."
