But it *is* violating her essence as a (non-Bright) Lilim. Lilim don't
give things away for free.

IIRC, Lilim get dissonance when their Geases are resisted. I would
count this as, roughly, she is voluntarily allowing her victim to resist
Geases. In fact, that would make it *more* dissonant in my opinion--
she isn't accidentally failing to live according to her nature as a demon;
she is *purposefully* failing to live that way. IE, she is allowing
the real Symphony to override her personal, selfish Symphony. For
a demon, that's dissonance.

(And frankly, the dissonance rules as written can be a little screwy.
An angel of Stone can work against his Word all he wants--destroying
stone (both metaphoically as bonds, or literally as in rocks) willy-nilly--
as long as they don't throw the first punch in a fight. Odd.)
