Sadly, it is multiplicative and it makes almost NO difference for the points you spend on it. Most of the songs have their activation chance go up by 1% when you do this. Some show literally no change. For 1/8/1. I mean, come on. I guess I should be glad it's useful out of the gate and doesn't require 3 levels to be worth it, but I'm a little insulted by the "upgrade."

Also, RE balance I am really feeling the impact of alchemy being wizard only. It's much harder to be a hybrid wizard than it used to be (I used to take every spell and still have enough runes to max level most of my favorites). Not complaining, just noting the change seems impactful.
Alchemy is completely valuable now. Crystals give you wanderer scrolls, and they also let you create items (which you could, for instance, feed to your Valkyrie ladies).

I got a plan that lets me build a demon tongue, which gives, IIRC, rage and crit chance to demons. As a skald I could make three and equip them all... Would give me a crap ton of rage and crit chance!
