Clockwork Lullaby
The Clockwork Lullaby is a mysterious, magic song that is learned by those with magical potential. A practitioner who sings the distinctive, calming melody ("Lu Li La" or an arrangement of the pattern) is able to have their voice spread across nearly the entire Evillious region. Elluka Clockworker teaches Kyle the spell, using the song as a sonar to detect and locate vessels of sin. It is also heard briefly by Rin Avadonia in the final minutes before his death. The melody is later used by the awakened Clockworker's Doll to soothe her when pressured by the other vessels of sin in her room and when attached to the clocktower in Evil's Theater. After assuming the title of Mistress of the Court, she uses the lullaby to soothe Erratic and heal him of his sins. Hänsel and Gretel have also been heard singing the melody in many of the series' songs.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * A clockwork is a mechanical device that utilizes a complex series of gears to perform its function; in the Evillious Chronicles, gears often represent fate, destiny, and the passage of time.
 * A lullaby is a soothing melody, usually used for the purpose of putting a child to sleep, reflecting the calming nature of the spell.

Curiosities

 * At the end of Chrono Story, a golden gear is shown with a roman numeral in each tooth, from 1 to 12.
 * Clockwork (ぜんまい仕掛け) can also be translated as "spring-worked".
 * The word wiegenlied that is used by Michaela in Wooden Girl ~Thousand Year Wiegenlied~ is derived from the German word for "lullaby".
