While chanting, the caster must remain stationary and cannot take any other action. The spell persists as long as the caster continues to chant, requiring concentration. However, this concentration is unnaturally resilient; a simple shove or distraction will not break it. Furthermore, the chanter cannot be grappled or overborne, as an imposing aura of focus prevents such interference. To end the spell, the caster must be struck with a weapon, whether through melee or ranged attack, and suffer damage.
Therefore, it benefits the chanter's allies to offer as much protection as possible, even positioning the chanter behind a wall or other obstruction. As long as the voice remains audible, the spell's effects continue while keeping the caster shielded from direct attack. The maximum duration the chanter can maintain the spell is five combat rounds per point of constitution.
If a magical silence effect is placed upon the chanter, the spell is immediately broken.
Experience
The experience (X.P.) gained from the additional damage caused by an ally under the spell's effects accrues to the caster. For example, if Trayvon strikes an enemy with a short sword and deals 6 damage, including the bonus from Uther's chant spell, experience points are distributed accordingly — Trayvon receives credit for 5 points of damage, while Uther gains credit for 1.
