Blight Skin
Blight Skin is a condition gained from eating blessed creatures or zidsan fruit. Humans can gain serious versions of it as most humans have low essence resistance. While beast races are mostly immune from the effects. The Deminor and Presari may get it when they are young as their resistance is lower as kids .
It is common among those who live near a great spirit or those who seeks their blessing for their crops. Many who seek out such things take it as a blessing that grows their resilience while others take it as an attack on what they need to survive.
Transmission & Vectors
Through eating food infused with essence from a great spirit.
Causes
A build up of infused essence in a body when combined with nutrients found in certain food.
Symptoms
Hardening of skin in crystal like formations on the skin. Heavy coughing with chance of some bleeding for crystallization of parts of the lungs. The severity increasing depending on the amount digested.
Those with decent resistance like the Presari and Deminor can gain partial shifting of their skin to aspects of their primal or elemental self, though they can take attributes from the spirit who's energy is infused in their food.
Treatment
Rest is the best solution and a change of diet away from essence enriched foods. In the case for more magical imbued individuals its simply allowing for adaption to take its place.
History
The first time blighted skin occurred was some time after the fall of the Lazari. As the races began to live among the spirits they became afflicted with this condition. The Presari and Deminor saw it as a sign of their strength as they assumed it was originally apart of their development of unlocking their magical powers and gain the ability to shift. For the Humans some tribes saw it as a blessing and embraced it in hopes of adapting to unlock magic for themselves. Some tribes saw it as a threat and choose not to eat anything blessed by the spirits.
