Description: Mortal singers can shatter wineglasses with their voices by finding the precise pitch at which the glass resonates. A talented Daughter of Cacophony can go beyond the destruction of relatively fragile objects, pitching her voice to find the resonant frequency of virtually any object, including a human or Kindred body. Only one victim at one time can be affected by Shattering Crescendo; anyone else within earshot will hear a piercing, though not harmful, shriek. Use of this power requires that the victim be within hearing range (characters with hearing difficulties–or Heightened Senses–are affected at the same range as other victims).

System: The player spends a Blood Point and rolls Manipulation + Performance (difficulty of the target's Stamina + Fortitude). Each success inflicts one health level of aggravated damage. If using this power on an inanimate object, the Storyteller determines how many dice (if any) with which the object may "soak" and how many successes are needed to completely shatter it.
