fonons

what the heck are fonons?

Fonons are ToA's equivalent to mana/magic/life-force/etc. Everything is made up of fonons and elements and different fonons have different properities.

Tear: Every structure and living thing has its own intrinsic vibration and emits a corresponding sound. Those are divided into six fonons. Tiny differences in their vibration and connections distinguish individual matter.
Luke: ?
Guy: They're one of the basic elements that compose matter. You're made up of fonons and elements.

There are Seven Fonons, each with its own frequency & element. The most important fonon in the ToA storyline is the 7th fonon and its sentient manifestation - Lorelai. The list of fonons and their elemental equivalents are as follows:

  • FIRST FONON - Shadow
  • SECOND FONON - Earth
  • THIRD FONON - Wind
  • FOURTH FONON - Water
  • FIFTH FONON - Fire
  • SIXTH FONON - Light
  • SEVENTH FONON - Holy?

Fields of Fonons are circular discs where certain fonons have concentrated. The more fonons concentrated in the field, the more powerful it is. A regular FOF is not strong enough to activate a sub-arte, unless the arte is equipped with a Sunlight FS chamber. When a FOF is strong enough to activate a sub-arte without the help of a FS chamber, it will become bigger and take on the color of the element it represents. For example, a regular Water FOF is a clear disc with the water icon above it. Once it becomes strong enough, the Water FOF becomes blue and at that time, one can activate a sub-arte within it.
