Spirit Crystallization Syndrome: Basics
Spirit Crystallization Syndrome (SCS):
Spirit Crystallization Syndrome is a rare and unique illness that affects Mahoubae who have engaged in battles with powerful beings. As a result of these encounters, crystals gradually form on the parts of their bodies that were lost or damaged during the fights. The crystals, resembling shimmering gemstones, have a translucent quality and emit a faint, ethereal glow. If they have any spikes thanks to a feral trait, those spikes will become infected.
However, the crystallization process is not limited to the affected areas alone. The illness triggers an unusual reaction within the Mahoubae's body, causing an overabundance of magical energy to surge through their entire being. This excessive power manifests in a peculiar manner: all fluids within their body, including blood, lymph, and other bodily fluids, undergo a transformation. They turn into a thick, luminescent substance that glows with a soft, vibrant hue, similar to the color of their unique magical energy.
The presence of the crystals and the transformation of bodily fluids are not merely aesthetic changes. They also have an impact on the Mahoubae's abilities and overall well-being. The crystals act as conduits, channeling and amplifying their magical powers, granting them heightened capabilities in spellcasting and magical combat. However, the transformation of bodily fluids affects their physical health, as the thickened substances may impede normal bodily functions. Therefore, affected Mahoubae need to find ways to manage and control this transformation to maintain their health and balance.
While Spirit Crystallization Syndrome poses certain challenges and risks, it also grants affected Mahoubae unique visual characteristics and formidable magical prowess. The condition requires careful monitoring and support from the Mahoubae community to ensure affected individuals can live fulfilling lives while managing the complexities of their condition.
