Vaz Ikzel
"Vaz'ael, why do you grow distant?
Let us help, please, we can help
Let us return the favor you are so greatly owed
Don't let the madness take you
Please don't let it take you..."
Vaz Ikzel on its own may seem like a relatively harmless and subtle mutation among Tleisalzeo. But is highly valued by those around the affected as long as they live. Which is, unfortunately, much shorter than most Tleis.
Symptoms
It is a mutation that directly affects the individual's ability to link to the rest in a relatively subtle manner. They are able to receive and decipher more information than normal on what the others can sense and perceive.
However it also overloads the individual with information, which wears down on their mind. Sometimes causing the Affected to be more willing to separate from the group, which is also why they'll take on a scouting role. Harmless enough role to hide they just want to get away from the others. But they grow to enjoy the role because they are often better at it and valued for this ability. But it doesn't change the fact it still wears on their mind, and ultimately becomes their undoing.

Prognosis
There's basically only two stages to this condition: The basic condition itself, and years later when it begins to noticeably progress into Kedril Trir and becomes fatal, there is no real cure.
