Controlled magnetic harmonic resonance.
What?
Apparently Tesla was close to something like this before Edison trashed his lab.
What are you talking about?
That wall was specially designed to destabilize when bombarded with a very specific harmonic resonance. That's what the tones were. And the strong magnetic property of the particles is what keeps the door from just crumbling into dust. It's a great way to hide a door, because you know, if you're looking for a door to open it's never going to be found. It's like a hologram, only better because it's solid mass until the tones are playing.
Right, so you could've just told me to walk through the door when you did it.
I could have, yes.
