Song Drawbacks Make Some Nigh Useless

Fortunately we have documentation for that change so if we want to mod it ourselves we can.

Imo additional points in the skill shouldn't make them stronger, but instead reduce the penalties so all of them are usable without regrets. For example maybe at rank 2 song of dark fairy gives you a 50% to work like the mod and it's 100% at rank 3. Attack and defense songs could reduce initiative penalty, and so on.

That's a good idea, especially since the 10% and 20% changes don't really amount to much, particularly on the skills that only give a bonus of +2 or even +5.
