Weave Sickness

Weave Sickness was a condition that was believed to have stemmed from excessive contact with pure magic from the Weave. It made several Appearance throughout history, with the most powerful outbreaks occurring during the Relic and the Extinction Era.

Symptoms
The early onset of Weave Sickness was insidiously benign, with victims suffering minor headaches, nausea, and vomiting. The symptoms would rapidly grow worse, however, after the first symptoms showed it was often too late for the sufferer. The second stage of symptoms was much less benign, marked with massive migraines, visual, and auditory hallucinations, and distinctive purple fluid leaking from the eyes and ears. These symptoms would worsen until the victim died, in many cases still screaming incoherently due to the massive headaches the disease caused.

The occurrence of the outbreak during the Extinction Era (current time period) was notably different in that it had a disturbing third wave of symptoms. Sufferers transformed into misty black entities, violent and with very few memories of who they used to be. These beings possessed powerful psionic and elemental abilities that seemed to be vary based on their environment at the time of conversion. This strange happening was never able to be explained, with some experts suggesting this event was not actually an occurrence of Weave Sickness at all, but merely a similar disorder.

Occurrences
It is believed the Weave Sickness has shown up in isolated cases throughout history, with the sufferers normally being foolhardy mages. Constant exposure to high amount of magic in short amounts of time seemed to trigger the disorder, and as such most people were of no risk. However, in two separate cases large outbreaks of the disease did occur, with disastrous consequences. (Not Showing the 2 main instances yet as they will be found in the campaign they will be shown after.)
