Wither Heart Curse

The Wither Heart is a curse inflicted by certain Nether weapons. It rots flesh to the bone, but, instead of killing the afflicted, they become undead skeletons. All wither skeletons, including Naeus, are a result of the Wither Hearthttps://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/795858792143257631/1273241317320818770.
Ender people are immune to the Wither Heart. It can only be cured through magic.
== Description ==
The curse starts through being stabbed or infected through a Nether weapon, such as the Ruby Thorn. The heart slowly withers away inside the infected. The infected will find themselves slowly becoming weaker and weaker, their eyes turning red and their skin starting to morph into a charred colour.
As the curse wanes on, the user starts to crawl as they walk until they eventually become immobilized, both eyes resembling those infected by a Zombie Virus. It is at that point that hope tends to be lost as the person withers away.
== Cure ==
The cure for the curse is located within a magic book kept by the Coven prior to their downfall. Stella and Rain embarked on a journey to the Coven Village in order to find it in Wither Heart, and, despite Rain almost dying, she succeeded in purging his curse.
== Trivia ==
* The ailment is based on the Wither status effect; unlike the in-game basis, however, it is seemingly not curable through means of milk and is a much more gradual and lingering effect until death.
* It is the only aliment to have an animation named after it, in the form of Wither Heart.
