At a certain point, this makes other abilities available (see AB COMPOSITION FINALE).<br>** All bladedance attacks that deal damage deal additional damage against a target afflicted with earworm.

|detail=Your footwork is the envy and ambition of lesser dancers: poetry in motion to make even the most cold-hearted soul stop and regard. As you enter the deadly dance with a partner, you will take the front position. As you strike, you will move around them, taking the side position, and eventually entering their blindspot in the back position. The novice bladedancer will move into side position after five strikes in the front position and into back position after two further strikes. They will return to the front position after a single attack in the back position. | |detail=Your footwork is the envy and ambition of lesser dancers: poetry in motion to make even the most cold-hearted soul stop and regard.
