A XXX male gnome utters the words, 'waowa gsgrul'.

The gnome should not be able to cast since he was entranced. I guess he lost the entranced status once AAA started dancing, but this should happen ONLY for AAA's group, not foes. Look it up please?

EDIT: protection of names/adjectives mainly

Actually, if you read the description. It is possible for them to still cast. It would take longer. If for instance you are lower level than the one entranced they will still be able to cast spells. It has happened to me. I know.

Nope. You are mixing songs of silence with songs of sleep or antimagic. With songs of silence, if entranced you CAN'T cast. With sleep takes longer, with antimagic takes MORE concentration.

Code:
Intially, this results in slower casting times for all magic users who hear it as they fight against the compulsion.  Upon being fully enthralled


I don't think the person was fully enthralled yet. Just was only at the initial stage.

I think it has to say xxx is enthralled by the song's beauty. Otherwise, this has been a bug for a while. It has happened to me before but only when they were the same level as myself or higher.

When it says the message that XXX is entranced by the song, he can not cast. Period. There seems to be a bug with the dancing combo. Dancing is supposed to remove the affect from your party, none else

Strange. Seems like a bug to me.

To be sure it does not affect your party, you should start dancing before singing the song... I'll have to investigate the rest.

Perhaps the affect of songs of sleep was gone when he started dancing?
I'm out of ideas :(

I just remember what happened. When you start dancing they will get a new saving throw against the song. Every time I start singing the songs of silence before I start dancing then I start to dance I get a whole new set of xxx is entrance by the song's beauty messages. I believe when you start dancing it is making everyone have another saving throw.

If this happens though, it is definitely a bug. Cause it is not like songs of sleep, in which dancing raises the effect for outside party units. Dancing is supposed to entirely remove the affect from the party, and not offer a saving throw to the others outside it.

Dulrik: I know, still, if you do the opposite it should be able to work, too. I know it did in other cases (which were not PK, but group vs (group of) casting NPCs.
