ab starhymn Composition
STARHYMN - COMPOSITION
Syntax: COMPOSE NEW <song>
COMPOSE LIST
COMPOSE <song> STANZA <number> LYRIC <text>
COMPOSE <song> STANZA <number> IMBUE [<power>|NONE]
COMPOSE <song> STANZA <number> DELETE

PERFORM SONG <song> [<target>]
SONGSTAT, SONGSTATUS
As your ability in your song specialization increases, you will be able
to compose new songs. You can write your own song and set it in
stanzas. Each song can consist of up to 9 stanzas, and certain powers
can also be invested in each stanza. Powers are divided into 3 types:
Low (L), Medium (M) and High (H). Low types can only invested in stanzas
1-3, medium in stanzas 4-6 and high in stanzas 7-9. Low stanzas
generally have simple effects, medium stanzas have stronger effects, and
high stanzas have very strong effects. Some song powers
need to be targetted and others will create a passive effect that stays
around you. As a general rule, you will not be able to stack passive
effects.
When playing a custom song, it always begins in stanza 1, each time you
play the song, it progresses to the next stanza until the song ends or
you change to another song or a certain amount of time elapses,
whichever comes first. Note that before the time elapses, you can take
other actions so long as you continue your performance before the time
elapses.
ab starhymn Sustain
STARHYMN - SUSTAIN

This ability will allow you to slow the music you are playing to
imperceptible levels, effectively freezing the music in place.
ab starhymn Processional
STARHYMN - PROCESSIONAL
Stanza: Low (1-3)

The processional is an inspiring introduction to any hymn. When you and
your allies hear this sound, your willpower and endurance will

well.

By weaving the sound of Raziela's voice, you and your allies will find that you recover potion balance from health, mana and bromides potion faster than normal. Note that this buff is constant so long as your allies are in the same room as the music plays.
ab starhymn DiscordantChord
STARHYMN - DISCORDANTCHORD
Syntax: PLAY DISCORDANTCHORD <target>
Power: 3
Damage Type: 100% Magic
The discordant chord is tuned to especially harm those ears which are already suffering the tonal ailments of a musician, doing greater damage the greater the level of auditory afflictions the victim has. The victim will also suffer grievous mana and ego loss. Note that hearing the discordant chord will remove all auditory afflictions. If you have an octave active in the room, its magical ability will also increase the damage of your chord for no extra power cost.

Targetable: No
Buff: Fire Damage Resistance, Level 1/Max 5
Cold Damage Resistance, Level 1/Max 5

The beauty of Shakiniel's voice can be imbued into your hymns, which offers protection to you and your allies. The protection extends to most forms of elemental damage, including fire, cold, electricity, and poison. Note that this buff is constant so long as your allies are in the same room as the music plays.
ab starhymn StarLight
STARHYMN - STARLIGHT

Syntax: PLAY REPRISE
Power: 1 (any)
By reprising your melodies and harmonies, you can take your song back
one stanza.
ab starhymn StarChord
STARHYMN - STARCHORD

ab starhymn MercifulSanctus
STARHYMN - MERCIFULSANCTUS
Stanza: Low (1-3)
Targetable: No
Affliction: Potion Recovery Malus, Level 1

Upon a crusade against the evil, Methrenton will lend you his voice, and

ab starhymn CaptiveAudience
STARHYMN - CAPTIVEAUDIENCE
Syntax: CAPTIVATE AUDIENCE
This will effect all allies and enemies in the room who can hear and are
not already captivated by a bard. Those who are captivated will only pay
attention to your songs and thus will only be affected (either
negatively or positively) by your song effects. Blanknote or Blankchord
will break the captivation.
ab starhymn CelestOde
STARHYMN - CELESTODE
Stanza: Mid (4-6)
Targetable: No
This rousing music will inspire the citizens of New Celest to greater heights, causing the damage they do to be increased. This powerful sound was inspired by the lyrics of "Ode to New Celest" by Raflein, the first guildmaster and founder of the guild.

such that your song will immediately end.
ab starhymn Requiem
STARHYMN - REQUIEM

Power: 3 (Pool of Stars)
By singing the requiem for the dead in honour of an enemy, you will be joined by an angelic choir who will lead that enemy unto death if he or she is still living. Once you start the killing note, you can do nothing that will disrupt the song.
Additionally, the "aura" afflictions are listed in these abs as the "auric" afflictions. Might want to change it back to aura for consistency, since it's listed as aura in the new tarot abs, and also listed as aura in the helpfile.

Your song and passives are doing Auric 1/3, Nerves 1/4, Phobia 2/5, Ocular 1/4 + 2/2 + 50% 1/5, Delusions 2/4 + 50% 1/5 and you have actives that do Ocular 2/5, Delusions 2/5, Universal Damage Malus 1/3 and Auric 2/4 + Stun.
It is entirely probable that you will get your opponent up to 3+ in Ocular, Delusions, Nerves, Auric and Phobia all at the same time without doing anything special. In aeon, all of those missed commands, balance losses, stuns and eating failures would be cripplng.
