 IPD Disease is a twofold effect that specifically targets Innsmouth Proxy Dependents, mirroring their namesake to an uncanny extent. It is said to manifest in two forms: Positive and Negative.
-The positive form affects those with active reyvateil genes, where the afflicted IPD has an attack of madness and loses conscious control of herself, attacking everything in sight and catching herself in the collateral damage in the process. This is treated as a continuous ''Confusion'' and ''Rage'' effect, per the spells. Despite this, the IPD can still cast spells and has a +2 bonus to her caster level and save DCs for all spells and spell-like abilities. She also gains the use of Primal Word, as the [[Reyvateil (class)|Reyvateil prestige class]] bonus spell, as a spell-like ability once per day (three times if she lacks any spellcasting ability). If she rolls to act normally three times in a row, or is affected by ''Lesser Restoration'' or ''Calm Emotions'', she goes into remission and all effects of the disease (including Primal Word and bonuses) are suppressed, though stressful situations such as combat may cause her to relapse.

 Meanwhile, the negative form affects those who have not yet awakened as reyvateils; the prospective IPD immediately suffers from Tattoolist Disease; whether this naturally happens upon maturity or is induced by another IPD Negative outbreak, it causes all other IPD reyvateils&mdash;active or prospective&mdash;in a 60-foot radius to save vs. contracting IPD Disease as well. This means that chained awakenings vastly increase the chance of an IPD Positive outbreak.

 Rarer still are Hymmnos Extracts. These often come programmed into Hymmn crystals that are downloaded by the reyvateil through a special sequence of command words, and even then they must have the a Hymmne Code with sufficient privileges to execute them.

 Mechanically, Song Magic most often takes the form of spells modified with [[Reyvateil_(class)#musicalInfusion|Symphonic Infusion]] or [[Reyvateil_(class)#metamusic|Metamusic]], Bardic Performances or even Masterpieces. Most Extracts are beyond the scope of combat or gameplay alone and within the GM's purview only.

 As the Tower Emulator is built on different technology from that of Ar Ciel, the traditional Central Standard dialect of Hymmnos is not the only one that can run on it; in fact, Hymmnos Extracts written in the standard dialect have performance issues due to the emulation layer. Back when the Innsmouth sailed the stars, a prototypical alternative was created to better interface with the rest of the ship's systems along with a special type of reyvateil&mdash;the Innsmouth Proxy Dependents&mdash;that could use it, but aside from a few lines of Hymmnos it was largely written and executed through machine code. Only long after the Innsmouth fell did the descendants of these specialised reyvateils write a new lexicon for it, allowing them to create new song magic on their own while leveraging the grammar of old.

-'''Tranquility:''' Tranquility is a life-extending agent for reyvateils in the form of a small blue crystal. Taken on its own, the effects of Tranquility are largely psychosomatic and do little to actually extend the reyvateil's lifespan. However, it is an effective remedy for short-term fatigue from singing too long. When administered through an install port, Tranquility grants 4 temporary rounds of Bardic Performance that disappear in one hour. Tranquility can only be used once every 24 hours for this purpose.

 Only reyvateils can make use of this item. As an artifact of another civilisation, it can only be found in the ruins. However, given raw materials and a formula it can be created with a DC25 Craft (alchemy) check with a material cost of 188gp.
