Irfidel --
I intended my comment more to convey a strong feeling that we don't need this and that having it would further imbalance the already imbalanced player vs. environment interaction, even though I had envisioned it as having a *long* cooldown, similar to auras and speedup. With a short cooldown it would totally imbalance player vs. mob interactions, especially for melee fighters. If it has a high sap cost, casters won't want to use it, but fighters don't worry about sap costs to a first approximation.
I'm really not sure how it would affect PvP, but my observation is that most PvP players are already NOT using tactically the full range of stanzas that they could. (PvPers... I know that some of you are; that's not the point.)
Finally, it feels too easy, which is not like Ryzom, and there is certainly nothing in the Lore that would suggest that it is consistent with our normal powers as homins.
