[Tear resisted the urge to sigh again. It was too bad she didn't have her fonology book with her from home. If she did, she figured it'd save a lot of explaining - she wouldn't have to review the concept of fonons with individual people, she could just hand over the book. For that matter, maybe she should have taken a job as a teacher - not that she thought she had anything worth teaching anyone.]
Um, no... Both of us use seventh fonons, but our "powers" are completely different. I would call his abilities a "special case", but I don't know very much about them to begin with.
Fonons are vibrating sound particles that make up essentially everything in my world. They are used in various technologies, as well as in battle. I believe in such cases fonons are somewhat comparable to ideas referred to in other worlds as "energy" and "magic". There are six types of fonons - darkness, earth, wind, water, fire, and light. Additionally darkness contains the properties of earth and water whereas light has those of fire and wind. The seventh fonon differs from the first six, and it is believed to be a mutated form of other fonons. Some people think of them as "sound fonons", but they aren't officially paired with an element.
Suffice it to say only those born with the ability are capable of utilizing the seventh fonon. Most of these people are healers, but there are also melodists, and some who are neither.
[Tears'planations are becoming a running gag I see.]
