OK I /flourish 1 every 10 seconds while playing the folk song. I see -23 and -11 pop up above my head every 10 seconds, so apparantly I am losing -33 action every 10 seconds. But I seem to be gaining 5 action points every second so that is 50 action points gained every 10 seconds. Now the problem is when I am doing this I am slowly losing action despite gaining more than I lose every 10 seconds. Can someone explain this to me.

Thanks in advance.

First off, flourish twice back-to-back every 9-10 seconds. You get double the xp. You do not get more than that if you flourish 3 or more times.

It costs Action to play the basic song loop. That's probably the -11. It costs Action to perform a flourish, and that's more draining than just playing, so that's probably the -23. How much different things cost out of your Action pool is determined by your Quickness. The higher it is, the less Action something costs to do. Stamina determines how well you regenerate Action back once the Action pool is 'damaged.' You won't gain any back if it's not at least partially empty.
