Question about Doug's powers
Question about Doug's powers
#1
Quoting from the FAQ:

Quote:Q: What, exactly, does Doug need to get a power from a musical work? (music + lyrics, music + some words, words + a beat, etc.)
A: He needs, at the very minimum, a single instrument playing a recognizable melody, and a single voice singing to that melody in a language he understands. Oddly enough, different/more complex orchestrations do not reliably map to stronger powers — just different expressions of the same core concept behind the powers he already receives.

What if only some of the lyrics are in a language he understands?

For example, let's look at Dean Martin's cover of "Volare". (Lyrics here) What happens when Doug plays it?
  • Because some of the lyrics are in Italian, nothing happens.
  • Because some of the lyrics are in English, he and somebody who loves him (so, Maggie or Makoto) can fly together.
  • Because some of the lyrics are in Italian and some of the lyrics are in English, he gets a weakened power - possibly he gets an ornamental pair of wings.
  • Something else.
