Lymibody

== Overview ==
Lymibody is a disease that is so rare and horrific, it's only been seen twice in all of recorded history in Soly. This was the disease that cursed Akkaz since the day he was born, and was unable to escape even after his Soaring. The only other case was seen in the early Pulsekaw Era as well, yet strangely the afflicted was seemingly treated to a point where the disease became manageable. The disease came to become more well-understood due to the farthest reaches of understanding siphoned from the suffering of Akkaz in the Deid's Pits.
After Akkaz freed himself from the Deid's Pits, he would delve into a Calamity Tree, and pass the threshold to move into the Pilfering Depths. His Lymibody affliction deflected nearly every attempt by the curse to steal something from him.
== Symptoms ==
* Body merely holds the shape of a normal body, but isn't quite. All the material, structure, and even capabilities of a normal body are there, but it appears to be held together by wax. Should it melt, the body does as well.
* All parts of the body in various concentrations appear to "melt" without much control. All matter from hair, flesh, bone, muscle, tendons, blood, and even organs are all subject to this disintegration and melting, like dew off a leaf. This process is endlessly painful.
**Akkaz in particular had most of his afflicted flesh concentrated from his hands, arms, and neck area, though his whole body was subject to this process.
* Eventually, the parts that fall off of the afflicted or melt into other parts are recalled. No matter where the afflicted is, or what parts are kept at any distance, the flesh appears to "teleport" slowly but surely back to its rightful spot on the integral structure of the victim's original body.
* The flesh which "falls off" the main body in this way is still fully functional, and can even be moved should the afflicted attempt to. That of course means that the removed matter still feels pain.
* A person with Lymibody becomes somewhat immortal, at least to physical destruction, as the body will always reconverge. Even separating the afflicted's heart and piercing it will not stop it from functioning and reconverging with the rest of the body.
* Lymibody appears to make the afflicted mostly immune to the Pilfering Depths.
