-'''Siren's song''' is a monsters-only ability (non-[[spell]]) that robs the player of the volition (and thus ability) to move away from the singer. Emitted in the form of a haunting song, it can be blocked with [[silence]], either via spell or a [[scroll of silence]]. When subject to the effect, the target is afflicted with the [[mesmerise]] [[status effect]].

-Other ways a siren's song can be avoided or broken are with the usual and expected means - possessing sufficient [[magic resistance]] (despite the fact it's not a spell...), killing or otherwise incapacitating the caster, and teleporting or blinking away. While other [[noise]]s will travel a greater distance than [[line of sight]], you can avoid the siren's song by simply remaining out of her LOS.
