Hyperresonance

The hyperresonance is a powerful ability used in Tales of the Abyss when two fonists of the same type use their abilities together. The ability allows to tear apart the fonons of a object and then reconstruct them. Normally, it takes two Fonists to cause one, but Luke fon Fabre and Asch who can cause it on their own.

It's a dangerous ability, as it normally cannot be controlled. Jade explains that it's an ability that is so powerful, it is almost useless in battle because it would completely disintegrate everything within range. In fact, it was a "quasi"-hyperresonance, roughly 40% of the power of a "real" hyperresonance, that destroyed the entire island of Hod.

A second form is second-order hyperresonance. In addition to the capabilities of normal hyperresonace, this has the ability to completely neutralize any Fonon. It is first used by Luke on Eldrant while saving the party from a trap and again used by Luke to defeat Van. Luke is the only character known to be able to use this ability, and he only gains the ability after absorbing Asch's power. Unlike a normal hyperresonance, Luke is able to call upon and control this power at will.
