Level 1: doubles MP/TP regen rate for X seconds
Level 2: instantly restores everyone's MP/TP to full
Level 3: instantly restores everyone's MP/TP and all party member's skills cost 0 MP/TP for X seconds

These aren't balanced obviously, but are merely suggestions to form a base
Bard is already an extremely useful class (interrupts, ranged DPS, songs), if they were able to make up for the damage loss of Final Heaven, melee wouldn't have a chance.

You already need at least one for all parties... it's bad enough. This is why I'm against giving Bards a different LB.
