[[Ballad]] is a type of [[:Category: Enhancing Songs|Enhancing Song]] used by [[Bard|Bards]]. It bestows an effect similar to [[Refresh (Status Effect)|Refresh]] for party members within range, restoring a small amount of [[MP]] every [[tick]] for as long as the effect lasts.

Three songs currently give this effect. Different tiers can be combined. They may also coexist with the [[Refresh (Status Effect)|Refresh]] status effect.

== Notes ==

*All Ballad songs initially restore the number of their tier in [[MP]] for each [[tick]]. Unlike [[Paeon]], the potency does not increase naturally at certain Bard levels.

*Monsters can cast Ballads, but this typically has little to no effect for them due to their greatly increased maximum MP pools compared to the ones players have. Except in isolated, prolonged instances, it is very rare that monsters run out of MP in standard party play.

[[Songs]] are learned by [[Bard|Bards]] only, at the following levels:

:25: [[Mage's Ballad]]
:55: [[Mage's Ballad II]]


Each +1 to Ballad on an instrument increases the number of [[MP]] recovered per [[tick]] by 1.
