Ummm... they do don't they?  The time taken to mem a song decreases as 
     you go up in level.  At 18 meming accelerado is extremely fast while 
     Denon's discord takes forever.  I'm sure that by the time I'm 40th DD 
     will be just as fast.

Well, for mages (yes I have an enchanter too - funny how they seem to fill 
the same slot in magic circles as we bards do) although I may have trouble 
deciding - it is INFINITELY easier to memorize spells, than songs.
     
Since we never get meditiate - our songs mem as slowly as the day we get 
them - THAT is a problem.
     
Besides the ONE song we have that DOES use manna, any reason they can't 
make our songs faster as we progress in skill?
