Dissonance is a form of music so unimaginably terrible that it requires great skill, or an extraordinary lack of talent, to play. The player may use her voice, or any instrument she can play, to create sounds so dissonant and foul that anyone who hears it will be subjected to crippling pain, and will be rendered unable of thinking clearly or taking physical actions. However, the player herself must focus entirely on creating this atrocity, and thus cannot take any other actions herself. Any entity who is within normal hearing distance, but cannot hear, will be in a lesser pain and unease. Such an entity is more capable of acting than those who hear, but the presence of the atrocious sound waves will render even them hindered, moving and thinking as if constantly distracted by an undetectable presence.

This treasure is a racial perk for Skull Kids. As such, a Skull Kid can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. If a Skull Kid chooses to gain this perk at some point after creation, the perk costs 15 rupees less than the listed cost.

Trivia
