Character Animation Question

[tacite]

I know when I turn spell effects to zero (via /showspelleffects off), all animations for songs on my bard vanish. No little drum strum for selos, no little arms over the head loop for dots, although the regen songs (with the floaty blue particles that form a cone going down through your body, ones off the top of my head are Hymn of Restoration, mana pump song and Niv's Melody of Preservation) never turn off with either spell opacity set to zero or /showspelleffects off.
