Resonance Echo Trials occur when foreign contracts or oaths are spoken aloud in Civitas Prime. The city's resonance lattice sometimes seizes upon the words, replaying them in harmonic echoes across forums and corridors.

If the oath is judged inefficient, contradictory, or dangerously vague, it shatters, binding the speaker to penalty clauses that exploit its flaws. Many merchants now hire local advocates to "compile" their contracts before uttering them in public.
