Resonance Magic

magic

Resonance magic is a school of magic based on vibrations and frequencies. It produces waves of sound and force and assists healing. It is common in Thalcoris, particularly Aurivallis, and less common in Thalassai.

Practice

Cassian sensed resonance essence when he first reached Thalcoris. It is taught at Tequaltor's war school, where practice bouts were enclosed by divine barriers.

Resonance Wave

Mages release resonance waves by clapping their hands or using their voices. The vibrations can shatter objects, knock opponents unconscious and damage their hearing. Cassian used a wave to break incoming ice during training.

The force can injure the caster and nearby allies. Razen warned his students of this danger.

Resonance can also create luminous bubbles that release different melodic notes when popped.

Healing and minds

Resonance complements divine healing.

Xoh’Metztli used resonance spells to control the people of Thalcoris. Her priests' and priestesses' songs drew listeners' attention, while the spell itself became interwoven with their thoughts. Through the moon shard, her words battered Cassian's mental shield. He could find and remove the spell inside Arinella, but the removal caused her intense pain. Mental shielding offers protection against such influence; it is not an absolute defense. Cassian killed Meliora and destroyed the goddess's essence, ending her control.

Origins

Orin founded resonance magic after encountering Xolterra's pink and yellow essence. He described it as speaking to him like a song and gave the school its name. His signed account was preserved in Aurivallis's historical books.

Practice

Like other magic schools, resonance magic is easier and stronger for mages with a natural affinity for it. Cassian sensed its essence when he first reached Thalcoris. It is taught at Tequaltor's war school, where practice bouts were enclosed by divine barriers.

Resonance can also create luminous bubbles that release different melodic notes when popped. These gentle sounds can be combined into harmonies.

Healing and minds

Resonance complements divine healing. After rebuilding Cassian's injured chest, Arinella used a controlled vibration to restart his reformed heart. The repair and the heartbeat were separate parts of the treatment.

Communication

Resonance stones were being developed as a way to communicate over distances. Thalena designed the devices, and researchers at the Nexus Research Center worked on them. The early stones were unreliable.

Mages release resonance waves by clapping their hands or using their voices. The vibrations can shatter objects, knock opponents unconscious and damage their hearing. Cassian used a wave to break incoming ice during training. Aelius dispersed gravity waves with resonance shockwaves and infused plasma attacks with resonance.

Communication

Resonance magic powers speech through resonance stones. Thalena designed these communication devices, and the Nexus Research Center developed them. Early models were unreliable. Deylin got them working well enough for distant officials to hear one another.

During Nerissa's invasion of Xalmyrra, Orin released a wave that shattered the nearest skyship and rocked the fleet. Brynor shielded his head, and Orin's own ears bled before he healed them. This was an exceptionally large attack.

Resonance magic powers speech through resonance stones. Thalena designed these communication devices, and the Nexus Research Center developed them. Early models were unreliable. Deylin got them working well enough for distant officials to hear one another, and under Cassian they became useful for military coordination. Cassian activated them by tapping subtle waves into the stones, although operating two at once remained difficult.
