The Discordance skill greatly reduces the stats of the targeted creature. Players can Discord multiple creatures simultaneously. The skill shares a cooldown of 5-seconds with Peacemaking on both success and failure, but a player may only use Discordance once every 10 seconds. This means a player can alternate between Discordance and Peacemaking every 5 seconds.
The Bard Codex significantly enhances the effectiveness of the Discordance skill.

((60 seconds - (Creature Difficulty Value)) * (Effective Barding Skill / 100)) - Discord effect duration has a minimum duration of
