Tried casting lilt when someone was unconscious, tried to cast area.
cast area
You try to wrap your spell pattern around everybody around you, but fail to do so.
You give sudden voice to the gentle song that dances in your thoughts, as you release an accompaniment of elemental air into the piece. Your singing maintains a soft tone, as you ascend through increasingly complicated scales.
It does not help anyone unless in the same group, are we going to need to learn a feat to make enchantes like lilt work on others not grouped?

Lilt was a spell we flagged for having an excessive slot cost but last time I asked people didn't seem very interested in giving up any of the functionality.
I'm willing to revisit that if people would like.

Seriously though, I'm perfectly willing to revisit reducing the slot cost by stripping some effects.
As it is the spell recovers fatigue, vitality and spirit - any one of which could easily stand on it's own.
Part of the reason the spell is as "low" in slot cost as it is is because the spell splits it's recovery between those three pools - the more pools that it's having to recover at once the less effective is for each.

Ah, gotcha, Epedia had concentration boost listed as an effect when I made that post, though it looks like it's been updated now. In it's current form, I find it to be a nice cyclic to use as a recovery tool after a death + depart, but I honestly don't use it much beyond that.
If I had to narrow the scope of the spell, I'd probably say that the vitality regen is the most useful aspect in day to day use, followed by fatigue, then spirit. So yeah, vitality + fatigue or just a big ol' vitality boost would be my vote.
Then again, I'm still not sure if I'll be picking up this spell once the preview ends (though I have to double-check and make sure it's not a prereq for anything else I want), so I may not be the best person to be asserting my opinion on this matter. A more potent vitality boost would certainly help to make it more tempting for me though.

I agree with the vitality and fatigue being the most useful, especially for younger bards. But the spirit boosting is still important I think. Could the spirit boosting get moved to a meta spell effect that is added back to Lilt? Like how Veteran Insight adds to the Sentinel's Resolve spell effect for paladins? That way people who have no use for it can not spend the added slot on it, and those who find it useful could pick it up.
The Lilt is a legendary part of our guild, and a beloved song. I'd hate to see it changed.
Tonight, for the first time since (checks signature) January 19, 2013, I cast a Lilt to the area and people who were not in my group benefited from it. I wanted to cry for joy at feeling like a bard again.
I guess it is time to change my signature. :) It was a REALLY rough year + for some of us bards.
