This cloud of song and sound has been caught by the wind and carried across the air. While the melody on the wind might enjoy the beauty of music, it is by nature a destructive elemental force.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilAERIALA durable flier that occupies melee range keeps foes from closing on this fragile-Fort artillery while it keeps firing.
SnareAERIALA controller that pins targets in a line turns the line-shaped sonic burst into a near-guaranteed hit instead of a clean dodge.
CrasherAERIALA bursty melee flier forces off-guard positioning that lets the ranged sonic attacks land at full effect while foes scramble.
PUNISHES
✖ low Will✖ clumping✖ melee reliance
Avoid pairing with another wide-area Will-save controller; stacking fascination and mental effects on the same save leaves little room for the party to resist any of them.
