	The same is true for a song, most especially for a song, as songs are comprised of waves of sound. Emotional waves are what artists manipulate. The very act of being alive gives off waves, though we can't hear them. Well, most of them. So let's consider the person's very being as the 'resonance', as we call it, and their emotions the melody. This applies to all living things. Some things are so simple, so mindless that they have only a single resonance. And some things, such as elves or even dragons, have such complex and long lives that they have several resonances that mix with their melodies. We've found that most humans have no more than two, however, at least that's what we believe. This combination of resonance and emotional melody is what we call simply the Heartsong. Affecting this is the cornerstone of our art.		The same is true for a song, most especially for a song, as songs are comprised of waves of sound. Emotional waves are what artists manipulate.

	You can affect emotional melody fairly easy if you have any empathy at all. Most reasonably well-trained bards can do this. To learn the way of the Heartsong is to use those melodies to affect the resonance of a being, to amplify the wave, as it were.

I strike the tuning fork, and it vibrates at a certain frequency. That’s the up and down movement of the tines. Hear that tone? Now, I'll still the vibration of the fork.

</div>

<div>

Miss Ricca will now sing that same pitch. Miss Rica, if you would? Mind your goblets, ladies and gentlemen, she has a powerful voice! Ah! And see, without so much as touching the fork, the tines are again set to vibrating, even more strongly than when I struck it! They move in response to Miss Rica's voice.
