Sonic Resonance
Overview
Sonic Resonance is one of the powersets. It is a Defender primary power set and a Controller and Corruptor secondary power set.

Powers
The following are powers in the Sonic Resonance powerset.
Clarity
By bouncing a carefully pitched sound wave off an ally's ear drum, you can free him from any disorient, hold, sleep, confusion, fear, and immobilize effects, and leave him resistant to such effects for a good while. Protection will improve with multiple applications and as you advance in level. Clarity also provides your ally with enhanced perception.
