Harmonics stored via the Aeternam into the Place of Eternal Song may be drawn out via the POES. The bard may draw a harmonic from the POES even if not wielding the proper bardic instrument, or webbed, paralysed, transfixed, tied up in ropes, or entrapped by the hanged man. If the bard is not discomfited in any of these ways, then a harmonic drawn from the POES still gives some advantage: the performance is less disturbing of the bard's equilibrium.

Creates a sonic-boom of sorts that stuns the bard's enemies and may knock them off their feet. Can be delayed in execution for 'delay' seconds. If 'delay' is omitted, then the Percussia is nearly immediate.  Example: PLAY PERCUSSIA 9 - would play the Percussia and then wait for nine more seconds before exploding on your (hopefully) unsuspecting targets. This is not a true harmonic, in that it cannot be called or moved with the Andante or the Battaglia.

From four to eight bards must combine in the Chorale. One plays, then each join in (same command in each case) and then when one decides that the time is right, performs the crescendo with PLAY CHORALE CRESCENDO. The crescendo grants experience to everyone hearing. The amount of experience varies with the number of bards in the Chorale. One person may only receive the benefits of hearing a Chorale once per Achaean month.
