[@The World] I talked it over with Majoraa. We think tempest is situational enough that you can just have it so that tempest lets you include bend without any additional costs. Alternatively, Majoraa and I noticed you were going for "self-preservation, with a powerful storm of attacks when cornered" and thought we'd suggest something like an ability to briefly become incorporeal or blink a super short distance while casting a melody. But if you like what you've created, you can change the mana cost for tempest and move [s]Gara Gura[/s]  Marrie into the character tab.

Figured a possible Trump Card, at the very least a window of opportunity to reach a better vantage point could be more interesting for possible strategies in fights.

But hey, if it doesn't tickle your fancy, I ain't gonna push. :P
