Murmur: Ardour

==Overview==
"An application of the Song that enables one to channel the Murmur into raw strength. Press H."
Murmur: Ardour is one of the 3 Murmurs that, when active gives extra 15% posture damage on outgoing M1 posture damage and reduces incoming posture damage by 15%. Activating the Murmur will release gentle purple particles from your weapon, and will make a quiet hum alongside whispers as long as it is active. It will also add a vibrato to the sound of your weapon's swings. Running out of ether at any point while using Ardour will cancel it.
By default, it drains a large amount of ether when used; however, at Power 19 the ether cost is low enough for your ether regen to overpower it, but it will still be slow. At Power 20, activation of the Murmur will be free and your ether regen won't be affected. 
This Murmur is expanded upon in the lore and has been linked to Busoshoku Haki from the anime One Piece.
===Ardour Scream===
"Amplify your shout into a scream using Ardour, dominating weaker foes. (Hold H and release.)"
Ardour Scream is a Common Talent Card that can be obtained when the user has Murmur: Ardour, 15 Strength, and 40 willpower. When activated, affected targets take 1.5x posture damage and 25% more damage and are forced out of Tacet. This ability does not scale on Power, always costing ether. The way it's damage increase works is by increasing whoever hits the target with a +25% damage modifier and as such cannot bypass the 75% damage modifier cap. Taunt and Tough Love work the exact same way, and therefore also won't be capable of bypassing it.
==Obtainment==
====Method One - Serpent Slayer====
Defeat the Dread Serpent either by randomly encountering it in the Voidsea or summoning it with a Ardour Manifestation.
====Method Two - The Old Stranger====
Encounter the Old Stranger on a boat and assist them by giving them a refreshing drink such as a canteen containing fresh water or Redd Juice, granting you the Murmur as thanks. Do note that not only is this event very rare, only a single player can obtain Ardour per event, so this is far less consistent than Method 1. 
====Method Three - World Serpent====
Defeat the World Serpent by randomly encountering it in the Etrean Luminant as a World Event
