The Dancing Curse

The Dancing Curse has been a constant disease in Giantstep for as long as all races can remember. Those afflicted by it will start hearing a music they can't really describe, very softly at first, but in a couple of days, the patient will start noting physical pain due to the apparent loudness of the music, even though only those sick can hear it. They then will discover that moving erratically helps them aliviate the pain, thus appearing like dancing. At this stage, the curse will become contagious to those who get too close to the afflicted. There's been tales of entire cities enthralled by the mysterious music, all activity stopping in favour of this apparent mad dance. This will last until the afflicted person becomes physically exhausted and unable to move anymore, which it can take days. After that, the afflicted will fall asleep, and once they wake up, they won't be able to remember how the music went. Other than the physical exhaustion and the lost time, there seem to be no other negative effects of this curse.
