Yeah, I think you understand exactly what I'm getting at NTA.
This means the dynamic of customization comes down to class, then domain, which would lead to some fun to be had with people who just enjoy trying out different builds. Maybe some songs modify how another song is cast, and while it can effect a song from the same sub-domain it can also mingle with a song of another sub-domain to modify that. Sooo, maybe a lightning sub-domain's skill of making a song act like chain lightning moving from one enemy to another, can be applied to a flame sub-domain to make chain fire, which would pretty much be like a spreading wildfire. Something like that.
What exactly classes effect I'm still not sure at all, like the whole how songs are used thing is a start, but I'm having a harder time imagining how songs are used by other classes like gossipers, painters, and Orators. I think that just requires me to think deeper into how they channel their songs, or what role they fulfill.
