=== Opposite Tones ===
There exists a set of tones complementary to the pure tones of Roshar, identical in frequency, but created and infused with Intent. These tones, sometimes called "opposite tones" behave similarly to the pure ones, in that they too interact with their matching Light (e.g. Stormlight will interact with Honor's opposite tone), but where the sound produced by the pure tones attract Light, their opposites ''repel'' it. Intent plays a critical role in the creation of these opposite tones, as they cannot be created
Related to the opposite tones' ability to repel Light is the strange way they sound differently to different people. For example, Odium's tone and its opposite sound identical to a human, but to a Fused - somebody whose soul has been heavily Invested by Odium - the opposite tone sounds uniquely unpleasant.{{book ref|sa4|97}}
