Looking over chanter abilities, I'm having trouble interpreting how long chant effects are supposed to last. Based on the in game documentation and the guides I've seen, my understanding is that each chant has a duration (6 sec for non-Troubadors) and a linger time (3 sec+modifiers) and that its effect persists over the length of the duration plus the linger. Looking at individual chants, though, I see that many have an additional length stated in their description. For instance, Ancient Memory has the usual 6 sec duration and 3 sec linger, but its effect is described as 1 health restored per 1 sec for 10 sec. If the chant and its effect last for the duration+linger, what do the 10 seconds listed in the effect mean? Conversely, if the effect does last for 10 seconds, what's the point of the linger?

Thanks! It looks like the 16 diplomacy was the issue. If I come back after some metagaming to get that, the luminous adra option does appear in the dialogue.

According to the wiki and several threads here, it's possible to complete the Paradise of the Mind quest by agreeing to supply Menzzago with liquid adra potions. I'd like to try this on my current playthrough, but, I don't see a dialogue option to allow. Whether I use the Diplomacy 8 or Survival 8 option to open negotiations, I only have three options: "Lie and give him poison." "I'm not bringing kith here so you can eat them!" and "I'll think of something." Any of the three immediately begins combat. I'm wondering whether there's some hidden prerequisite to unlock the liquid adra resolution. I have the game set to display unmet skill and background prerequisites, so I know it's not one of those, and I have liquid adra potions available in my stash, as well as in my main character's quick slots and personal inventory. In case it makes a difference, I've captured the Floating Hangman on behalf of Aeldys but haven't yet returned to Dunnage with it. I've also completed most of the early and mid game quests for the other factions but haven't committed to them either.
