Difference between revisions of "Chorus"

== Abilities ==

Each settlement on Canticle has a Chorus of their own, kept in a specialized containment chamber called a Reliquary--a glass drum with an open top. Despite expressing a desire to kill and absorb the Investiture of the living beings around them, the Chorus are remarkably docile compared to their Threnodite equivalents.

Despite being Threnodite [[Cognitive Shadow]]s in origin, The Chorus claim that they are not shades, citing their ability to remember as a significant difference.{{book ref|tsm|22}} This may be a result of the unique Connection properties between groups of Canticlites. In addition, when a shade is generated, it is often drawn to the Reliquary of the settlement that individual was associated with, and occasionally their likeness is visible within the Chorus.{{book ref|tsm|22}} It's unclear if individual shades contribute any knowledge to the Chorus, as the shades functionally act as a single entity once they have be assimilated, generally only speaking as the original immigrants from [[Threnody]].

Arguably the most notable function of the Chorus is the ability to fabricate nearly anything from raw materials after observing relevant blueprints or schematics--the process bearing resemblance to the methods [[Shardblade|Rosharan Radiant spren]] use to change shape. Similarly, the length of time it takes for the Chorus to fabricate any given object is influenced by how familiar the shades are with the process.{{book ref|tsm|22}}
