The Hush lifts Dissonance and drives the visions off: stand in hushed water and keep still. Stillness heals Dissonance. The Still are partly right, and that is their temptation: where nothing flows, the mind stops falling out of step. A fluxionist takes from stillness exactly as much as is needed, and moves on.
Hush salt is brewed in the Crucible over gentle heat: quickdust with Still, Soul and Lattice. A pinch dropped into a source of still water — a pond or a well, never a river or flowing water — hushes nine sources of the same surface.
Step into hushed water and stay still. On the third breath the Hush comes: while it lasts, no visions come. Keep standing, and Ripple leaves every four breaths, Dissonance every eight. One step, and it all begins again.
