Resonance triggers on affecting "one or more enemies" with a Verse, not "more than one enemy". And 10 MP is sufficient to hit a single enemy with a low-volume verse.
I think there's an issue with most of the classes in the High Fantasy Atlas: they are too self-contained. Looking at the Chanter for example, one of their skills is generically useful: Siren's Song, giving them Ritualism rituals. All the others are focused on verses - either getting more keys/tones, or trigger when using verses. If you're just going to take one level in Chanter, you pretty much have to take the Magichant skill, because most of the others don't *do* anything without it. Compare this to a class like the Elementalist. Other than spellcasting, they get bonus damage for extra MP cost with all instant spells, bonus to magic checks, or using a weapon's accuracy check instead of the default magic check. These are all generically useful skills (although there are probably not very many who will take both Magical Artillery and Spellblade). Magical Artillery is useful for Entropists and Spiritists, and Spellblade is useful for any warrior-type who wants to dip their toes in spellcasting for additional options. I don't know if maybe this is because the core book classes used up all the generically useful abilities. For example, the Dancer would be a natural place to have an ability that gave a defense bonus in non-martial armor (since martial armor interferes with dancing), but that's already the rogue's bailiwick. The only similar class in the core rules is the Arcanist, who is pretty useless without Bind & Summon - but an Arcanist can often get an Arcanum that synergizes with their other abilities (e.g. Grimoire for casters and other cerebral characters who benefit from INS bonus, or Sword for fighters). Not so for Chanters. They're all song, all the time.

Another good video. The chanter does feel like some of its abilities needed a bit more playtesting
Could make a build with the Heavy axe called Heavy Metal
