Sing (command)



Sing, also known as Bardsong, is a command ability usually associated with the Bard job class. Depending on the song that is sung, Sing usually supports the party in some way, either by applying a status effect to the whole party, or temporarily raising their attributes for the remainder of battle. Some songs apply negative status effects to enemies, for example Lullaby inflicts Sleep.

Sing is usually disabled if the character is inflicted by Silence.

Perfect Pitch and Matador's Song on the other hand give Accuracy +10 or Evasion +10 with a single use and cannot be stacked further.
