Introduction to Evil Songs

This chapter presents all the of the wicked corruptions of Songs by their Families. Having separated themselves from the Most High, unholy Minstrels must resort to harnessing evil mindsets for their inspiration. Remember that their ability to use their Passionate Songs to influence others was a gift from the Most High and is not directly calling upon him to respond and empower them. Therefore, they are able to direct their abilities toward selfish and evil goals.

A person blessed with a beautiful voice can choose to sing songs that are pleasing to the Most High or songs that curse His Name. The ability to sing is not suddenly lost when choosing to a path that does not honor the Most High. Just the same, Minstrels did not suddenly lose their ability to learn and perform Songs when they were corrupted by rebellion. The Songs themselves however do reflect the Minstrels’ corruption. This does not show the Most High misusing his power, since he gifted this ability when the elohim were created. It should be noted, though, that as Creator, the Most High is the ultimate source of all power whether recognized as such or not. 

The words Blessed and Righteous are used to describe improved versions of good Songs. Things that are Blessed have been placed in proper alignment with the Most High. Things that are Righteous function as they were created to. To the converse, the words Cursed and Corrupt are used to describe improved versions of evil Songs. Cursed things have been places out of alignment with the Most High. Corrupt things function as they desire regardless of their created purpose.

Songs are grouped in Families. These Songs are related and are mastered in order of Progression, one Tier at a time. After learning all Songs in Tier:1, they can start the Progression of Tier:2, and so on. The Minstrel may not learn Songs of a higher Tier than themselves.

The following information will help you interpret the information contained in the Song tables:

This lists all the of the available Songs by Families. Below is a Key for interpreting some of the information contained in the Song Family Tables.

Heaven is both the level of effectiveness the Song produces and the Heaven the Minstrel must be to learn the Song. 

Class denotes many things about the Song. 
   Affecting Songs cause some change to the hearers. 
   Manifesting Songs produce an effect that is symbolically manifested. 
   Enhancing Songs enhance another Song. 
   Immediate Songs last only for the Cycle they are used. 
   Ongoing Songs can be maintained Cycle after Cycle with the continuing use of Passion. 
   Boosting Songs provide some benefit to the Minstrel and his allies. 
   Resistible Songs primarily involve on a non-damaging effect that can be resisted. 
   Damaging Songs center around damage to either Endurance, Resolve, or Passion.
   Self Songs are centered on the singer rather than external Targets. 

(Rules for resolving Resistible, Damaging, and Boosting Songs are found in the War and Gameplay section.) 

Complexity is the amount of Control it takes to sing the Song. The Minstrel must have Control equal to or greater than the total combined Complexities of the Songs he desires to sing in a Cycle. 

Effect is what the Song accomplishes. This will be an abbreviated version with more information available in the Song’s description.
