PLAY

Bards can play songs but they usually need INSTRUMENTS to do so.  Playing
songs costs MANA.  Bards have the unique ability to use STAMINA in place of
mana when out of mana to play songs (though it takes twice as much stamina
as it would mana!). Most songs will continue playing until you stop playing
them or you run out of mana and/or stamina. Your instrument needs to be
of sufficient level to be able to play the song.

Play types are as follows:

  Room            -affects all mobs/players in a room
  Enchantment     -has a magical effect on its target
  Buff            -provides a lasting positive change on the player
  Debuff          -has a lasting negative change on the player
  Charm           -takes over the target
  Transportation  -transports the victim to another part of the MUD
  Combat          -damages its target, starts combat, or can be cast in
                   combat

To play a song:
play <song name>

And to stop playing a song:
play coda
