Musicians

Musicians are araneans who have fully Awakened their potential to touch reality.

## Overview

The Music is an integral part of everything that exists, but very few people can hear it. Some simply don't have the potential, while others never learn to listen for it properly. And, out of that tiny number who do learn to hear the Music, only a small percentage can truly be called Musicians.

Musicians not only hear the Music, they know how to influence it and rearrange it according to their desires. Doing this changes reality itself, for all things in creation follow the melody that surrounds them.

Musician work has three main subskills: hearing, arranging, and composing.

Listening: The Ability to learn information about anything and everything that surrounds you by interpreting the music around you. At a very simple level, it lets you see where people are near you without actually needing to see them. On a more advanced level, it lets you decipher the emotional state of anyone in an instant. Basically, it’s a very heightened and honed sense of perception and insight.

Arranging: The ability to manipulate the music in order to, in its simplest form, amplify or lessen Light, Life, or Elements from something’s music, often described as the ability to modify or invert something with music. If you wish to amplify or modify any aspect of someone or something, for example the color of a cup or a particular emotion someone is feeling, you can pick it out from their song and modify it or amplify it.

With the cup for example, you need simply to pick out the part of its music that is how the cup interacts with the light that shines on it and change the color it reflects out to be different. The closer the colors are on the color wheel, the easier the shift.

With the emotion example, you can amplify the emotion of your choice by simply picking it out and causing the individual to feel it stronger by amplifying the notes associated with that emotion. More advanced musicians can even dampen other emotions at the same time, and the subtle can do it without the effects even being noticed by the individual who’s being messed with.

A specifically useful part of Arranging is its ability to switch every part of someone or something, otherwise called inverting them or it. Every trait is reversed. Usually open, now reserved. Yellow skin? Now Purple. Hard rock? Now squishy. At advanced levels, this technique can be used as a slider instead of just a reversal switch.

Arranging is more commonly studied than Composing and is considered to be the more versatile of the two arts, even though it is considered to be the lesser of the two.

Composing: The ability to manipulate the music in order to, in its simplest form, add or remove Light, Life, or Elements from something’s music, more often described as the ability to create something with Music. If something doesn’t exist, for example a theoretical type of metal or a new species of plant or animal, it’s Composing that can allow that item to be brought into reality. It is not as commonly studied as Arranging, as it is considered less versatile. At intricate levels, it can create emotional states in people or even grant people new magics. When Composing, it is helpful to have a preexisting example of the trait you wish to create to use as a guide for what the trait should sound like.
