powersong idea

Perhaps it overlays an existing ship Doug is aboard to give it the relevant appearance and abilities while the song lasts? That would make the effect more usable, without just suddenly making a real object instead of the usual temporary simulacra. He'd also get to use other material in his repetoir to get the real ship into and then out of position to make the best use of those fourish minutes, so that's a storytelling bonus too.
