EHS Sensitivity
This is a neurological condition that causes people who are hypersensitive to electromagnetic emissions to begin to experience negative health effects when exposed to electromagnetic fields.. Any electronic device that emits radiation of any type can cause these effects. It is minor to some people but debilitating to others.
When the Atlanteans arrived on Aquatica, they brought their high-tech society with them. Wireless communication, smart grids, and electronic devices are everywhere they settled.
Some people have problems with magic and magic devices as well. Some people with this problem created the Antitechnology League. Another group created an Antimagic League for the same reason.
