An unusual song, crafted under unusual circumstances. According to the liner notes, it's not unusual for a Reyvateil to craft basic combat-use Song Magic at the rate of one every few years even without Diving. Something like this, though—even if we're not exactly sure what it does—is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime achievement even for one who is truly gifted, and even then, only possible when deeply moved.
