Auditory Skills were common in the territory of Charm. The harpy flights mastered and propagated the art. It was even considered vogue amongst the female elite, Medusae, human, and otherwise.
Thus, it was natural for Charm's Ivory Prince to have at least moderate resistance against such attacks.
The shrill vernacular of a disobedient teenage girl roused a desire within Tycondrius. It made him think it only natural to... use a blade to gouge out his eardrums... and to... bash his head against the stones until he ceased to breathe.
Tycon resisted, of course.
...Yet such desires could not be wholly erased.
So in order to survive in the short term, Tycon focused on optimizing his ritual's more-complex functions... which was also necessary for survival long-term.
A mirrored redundancy layer... Yes, that sounded nice.
