Different materials have different resonance frequencies, and for a glass to shatter, the singer must hit a specific pitch and sustain it long enough to break the glass. It was part of my least-favorite section in the Differential Equations class in college but I remember it because my professor was awesome and had great demonstrations.

It's possible that Steven will have to counteract the resonance. Whether it is the form of something that would dampen the Corrupting Light, or mask (Wikipedia states "[sound masking] is often referred to erroneously as white noise or PINK noise") the sound of it, there is real-word physics behind the theory. Yeah, that's a great support. However, if you used the counter-resonance ¿would the wine glass repair itself? No, I wouldn't. If you wanted to actually repair the damage you should use a different and more complex process. The same applies to Gems and Corruption. As stated above, it's much easier to break things than to fix them. I did not mean to imply that the Light broke the physical form of the Gems. Resonance is capable of distorting an object (breaking it involves distorting, but you can distort without breaking). I was trying to say that since different materials have different frequencies, it would be difficult to find the correct one for each Gem/type of Gem.

I mentioned the breaking wineglass so that people reading would have a basis for understanding the rest of the argument.

Or you could go with "the wineglass broke physically, but the Gems broke mentally".
