{{Anchor|Voice}}
{{AB
|skillname = Voice
|syntax = SING SONG OF <name>
|description = The first step that most learn toward music is using the voice. It is with your
voice that you will first learn to elicit effects upon those who hear you.
Each song will take a short while of singing before its effect will be felt by those you direct it
towards. You may move or act during a song once started, however you may not speak. If a song
requires it to be held, then you must cease all actions once the first part of the song is heard.
Only one song may be sung at a time.
Since you are using the voice, do note that any damage to your throat will prevent you from
completing your song. Ensure that it remains healthy so that your song will have its intended
effect.

{{Anchor|Induce}}
{{AB
|skillname = Induce
|syntax = INDUCE <emotion>
|description = Providing that their emotions have been awakened to manipulation, you can induce an
emotional reaction of your choosing in anyone in the same location as you through a short string of
notes. This will bring the chosen emotion to the forefront of their mind, causing it to become
their primary emotion. While affected by a primary emotion, certain afflictions will become more
potent.
Here are the emotion types and their effects:
Sadness (shyness) - Instills a chance of missing physical attacks.
Happiness (perplexed) - Pipe curing balance is lengthened.
Surprise (dizziness) - Causes an inability to dodge attacks.
Anger (hatred) - Prevents the ability to shield.
Stress (masochism) - Attacking yourself via masochism stuns yourself.
Fear (self-loathing) - Thoughts caused by the self-loathing affliction give the worrywart anxiety.
Disgust (besilence) - Improves besilence so that it blocks any ability requiring mana.
While under the effect of an induced emotion, the corresponding emotional level of those effected
will slowly deplete over time and neither can it be further increased. They will also be
occasionally afflicted with the associated affliction as their inducement wears down their emotions.
For more information on awakening emotional states, please refer to the AB SONGCALLING AWAKENING.
