Defenses are temporary bonuses provided to your character through the use of skills, items, or quests, and most will persist until you leave the game or die. Your own defenses are visible at any time by using the <tt>DEF</tt> command, while certain abilities such as [[Rituals#Tristitia|Tristitia]] allow you to view the defenses of others.

| style="background:lightyellow"|When Raflein awoke the voice of the Elder Goddess Rhapsody, they developed the musical style known as the Starhymn.

As your ability in your song specialization increases, you will be able to compose new songs. You can write your own song and sets 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.
Avoid the next attack.


{|
{{Template:Defence | defName= Balancing | defLine=You are balancing carefully. | defSources = [[acrobatics#Balancing | balancing]] ([[acrobatics]])}}
|-
| style="background:darkgreen; color:white"|'''Additional Notes:'''
|-
| style="background:lightgreen"|Whenever you play a song, all the effects of the song (excluding targetted ones) up to whatever you've played are active as long as the song is playing, and each one will tick every ten seconds.  You can't control when each effect ticks relative to the others.  Thus, performing a song is more like raising defenses in advance than it is like attacking.


How long a song lasts from the last time it was played depends on your skill in [[Music]] and its specialization, and in [[Dramatics]], plus on your intelligence and charisma, and can be extended with a Tempo enchantment.
Protects against being sprawled.


Most song effects will impact only allies or enemies, and then, only those who are not deaf and not captivated by another bard.  Even you, yourself, won't be affected by your own song if you're deaf.
{{Template:Defence | defName= Elasticity | defLine=You are concentrating on providing your muscles with increased elasticity. | defSources = [[acrobatics#Elasticity | elasticity]] ([[acrobatics]])}}


Note that what is called a "stanza" here is really a single line, with a limit of 65 characters.  If you don't imbue a power into a stanza, it won't cost mana or ego when it's played, so you can use unimbued songs for performances.  Imbued stanzas will have a description when played that's impacted by the imbued power.
Damage Modifier: 20


Note that you can change the imbued power in a stanza in a song already in progress, and the change will take effect immediately. This does not consume equilibrium or balance.
Reduce injuries to your body.

{|
Reduce damage and lessen the chance of breaking limbs.
|-
| style="background:darkgreen; color:white"|'''Additional Notes:'''
|-
| style="background:lightgreen"|The purpose of sustaining your song is to freeze it so it's inactive (none of the effects will impact anyone) but is no longer ticking down to its time running out.  You can then reactivate it before you need it by playing a single stanza (or refraining, if you have the [[#Refrain|Refrain]] skill), which reactivates all the effects in all played stanzas instantly.

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 number of these afflictions the victim has.
