			Found the formula which decides duration. Above 180 skill level increases the duration by 0.8 seconds per 1 level. All previous testing follows the formula and can be disregarded.
	I've been adding in 'base duration' figures to each barspell but I'm stuggling to figure out exactly what the figure is supposed to be. So far I haven't found any details on historical wiki pages to suggest what it should be.

	At some point in 2009 SE changed the duration to 10 minutes.

	On Horizon as a 46 WHM and enhancing magic skill of 118, both bar-element and bar-status type spells are lasting for 2 minutes and 26 seconds. The random number leads me to believe that enhancing skill affects duration but how exactly, I can't say. In time I plan to level my mule to 5 (barstonra level) and test it out from 0 skill but for now I wanted to add this here to preserve my thoughs but in the hope that others with more information might comment also. ~ Pendulum {{spiffly}}

	The level 5 character was done on a fresh mule, starting with 0 skill. The level 46 test was done on my main characters WHM, with skill level being innate and no boosts.

	This test was done by Beeliven. Thanks. The 230 skill test was done naked. This suggests one of '''three''' things is increasing barspell duration: merits, enhancing skill beyond a certain break-point or a combination of the two. There may be something unforseen at play as well.

	If somebody reads this and has a 75 WHM with either uncapped enhancing skill or 0 merits in barspell, I'd appreciate it if you would do some testing and post it here or DM it to me on discord. ~ Pendulum
