## Resonance

### Description

A Resonance is a powerful ability. They are in the form of a musical instrument, usually a bell of some sort. Resonances are attached to the user’s soul and are unbreakable. They come in a variety of colors. A purple Resonance is corrupted, a yellow Resonance is legendary. Resonances have a set amount of Resonance points, corrupted Resonances have more points at the cost of being corrupted. A Resonance can allow you to open Resonance doors and speak to Yun’Shul without dying. A Resonance is attached to the user’s soul. There are 3 ways to unlock your Resonance, your soul might hunger to defeat strong foes, beat people in fights, and to satiate its curiosity. The only 1 known way to always unlock your Resonance is to go into The Depths. The actual attaining of a Resonance occurs when you would die in Scyphozia in The Depths/The 1st Layer of The Depths. Dying in any other Layer will result in normal death. When you die you are fully healed, a bell choir can be heard, and you will choose between 3 different Resonances. A harmonic and perfect sounding gender neutral voice can be heard before the user is healed, it simply says “Rise.”. When somebody gets a Resonance their heart naturally beats to the Rhythm of The Singing One. Corrupted Resonances have multiple downsides upon use. Upon getting your Resonance, you get a certain amount of Resonance Points that can be spent to upgrade your Resonance, such as increasing its duration or power. Normal Resonances give 5 Resonance points.

### Variants

#### Corrupted Resonances

Corrupted Resonances are like normal Resonances, except more powerful. They appear to be more powerful than a regular Resonance, but they come with a downside. Corrupted Resonance downsides include: MEGALOMANIA: Lose sanity upon using the Resonance. EROSION: Lose 10% of max health upon using the Resonance. Not permanent. SHORT-CIRCUIT: Be set ablaze upon activation. HEAVY PRESSURE: Immense pressure is placed on the user upon activation which slows speed immensely and deactivates flying for 6 seconds. TERMINAL FAILURE: The user grows cancerous growths upon use, the growths will chip away at health over time. STATIC: The user is shocked and stunned upon activation. ECHOES OF REALITY:  Upon activation, echoes seemingly surround the user. Nothing of note seems to happen… RAGE: The user is consumed by an immense rage which drives them to destroy everything in sight upon activation. INSTABILITY: The ground below the user suddenly will shift and impede them, an earthquake could occur, something like quicksand, etc.Corrupted Resonances give 7 Resonance Points. Having a Corrupted Resonance on a Legendary makes it Drowned. Getting a Corrupted occurs when, on a roll of 1 to 10, you get a perfect 10.

#### Legendary Resonances

Legendary Resonances are golden Resonances with extremely powerful effects. They only occur upon rolling a 90 or higher on a random number 1-100. They have powerful and unique effects. Legendary Resonances have 10 Resonance Points that can be used.

#### Drowned Resonances

A Drowned Resonance is a godlike and mythical variant which occurs upon a Legendary Resonance mixing with a Corrupted Resonance. Drowned Resonances have 20 Resonance Points to spend, making them unparalleled. Similarly, Drowned Resonances usually get extra abilities on top of what they have.

#### Tarnished Resonances

Tarnished Resonances aren't normal, only occurring when the user's soul is damaged or missing, as a Resonance attaches to their soul. Tarnished Resonances have a cancel-able 1 second wind up, as well as generally being weaker. There are certain ways to cure Tarnished Resonances and return them to their full power.
