Adaptation to Circumstances

Adaptation to Circumstances

Job	Bard / Dancer
Type	Active
Target	Self
Max level	1
SP cost	1

Adaptation to Circumstances lets a performing Bard or Dancer cut a song or dance short so they can react to a changing situation instead of being locked into a performance they no longer need.

Overview

Songs and dances commit the performer for a while, which is a problem when the fight shifts. Adaptation to Circumstances immediately ends the caster's own active performance, freeing them to move, retarget, or start a different song or dance. It affects only the caster and can be used while performing.

Mechanics

• Cancels the caster's currently active song or dance.
• Can only be used once the performance has been running for at least 3 seconds. Attempting it earlier fails.
• Only works while a song or dance is active; it has no effect otherwise.

Leveling

Level	SP cost	Effect
1	1	Cancels the caster's active song or dance

Requirements

1 SP. No catalyst or weapon requirement. A song or dance must currently be active and must have been running for at least 3 seconds.

Notes

• The very low SP cost makes this a cheap way to reset a performance rather than waiting for it to expire on its own.
• Because it only ends the caster's own performance, it does not affect partners or party members.
