__NOTOC__
[[Threnody]] is a type of [[:Category: Enfeebling Songs|Enfeebling Song]] used by [[Bard|Bards]].  It temporarily lowers an enemy's resistance to one of the eight [[Element|elements]], causing subsequent elemental attacks, [[Magic|magic]], and [[:Category: Status Effects|status effects]] matching the appropriate element to land on the target with greater accuracy.
 
== Notes ==
 
*[[Threnody]] reduces the target's [[resistance]] to the appropriate element by 50 points plus 5 for each +1 on the instrument.
:*These enhanced Threnodies cannot be overwritten by a lesser version, even of a different element.
::*Example: Casting [[Light Threnody]] on a target while wearing the [[Piccolo +1]], then switching to a [[Horn]], will result in [[Light Threnody]], as well as [[Dark Threnody]] and the elemental versions returning a "has no effect".
*The [[White Magic]] spell [[Erase]] will remove Threnody effects.
*Similar to Bar-spells, Threnody spells have an element that is stronger than the element it acts upon.  For example, [[Barblizzard]] enhances resistance to ice, yet is a fire-based spell.  Likewise, [[Ice Threnody]] reduces ice resistance, and is also a fire-based spell.
*As an [[:Category: Enfeebling Songs|Enfeebling Song]], only one Threnody can be active on a target at once.  If a subsequent Threnody is cast on a target that still has a Threnody active, the first Threnody effect is removed.
:* Based on the previous example, if you try to cast [[Ice Threnody]] on a target resistant to fire, it may fail often.  An alternative course of action might be to cast [[Fire Threnody]] first (a water-based spell), such as to reduce its fire resistance and make it easier to land Ice Threnody.
*The status of reduced elemental [[resistance]], such as the effect provided by Threnody, only heightens the accuracy of elemental spells; meaning it will be more likely to hit for its maximum (unresisted) damage and/or duration.  Threnodies, or any other form of reduced elemental [[resistance]], will not allow direct damage spells to hit for a higher than maximum damage.
