The Effects of Animus Magic: Radiaton

== Animus Magic Radiation ==
Everyone thinks that there isn't a way to make animus magic more dangerous than it was. 
What if I told you that wasn't true? 
The one way to make animus magic even more terrifying than it already is. Radiation. The longer an object has been animus touched, the more radioactive it is. Dragons who hold the magic get burnt or poisoned by the radiation of old animus magic. New touched objects aren't dangerous. 
And dragons who are animus touched slowly decay over time. Unless you're Darkstalker, in which case you just become a thousand times more deadly than you already are. 
The radiation leads to brain fog of animus dragons, making them more likely to do rash things or immoral things and not feel guilt or remorse. Events like the Royal SeaWing Massacre and Diamond's Reign happen due to this, and dragons only found a few years before the main series.
If an animus dragon uses their magic too much or for large spells, they might start to decay. The soul isn't what's affected. It's the body. 
DISCLAIMER
This AU is a work in progress because I'm too lazy to do it all at once.
== Animus Touched Object Effects ==
=== Turtle ===
Over time, Turtle's scales grow warm to the point where dragons who touch him for too long and have low heat tolerance feel a minor pain, like from a burn. Nothing major, and Turtle's lifespan isn't shortened. 
=== Darkstalker ===
Darkstalker has so many enchantments on him that he would be dead almost immediately if his immortality was to be removed. That's saying a lot, as dragons have much higher radiation tolerance than humans. The enchantments are also so large that they should have killed him by now. The fact that he has lived for over two thousand years means that the radiation is intense and deadly. 
Flammable objects that get too close to his scales are set on fire. If Darkstalker touches a dragon, it leaves them with third-degree burns and scars that stay forever. If one stays in his presence for a extended length of time, they may get radiation poisoning, and will most likely die if that is the case. 
Darkstalker has several extra organs and a permanent case of cancer due to the number of enchantments on his body, plus the major enchantments he's done on objects and other dragons. 
The cancer means he develops tumors that become new organs because of the immortality enchantment. His morals have also taken a turn for the worse, though his intelligence hasn't been clouded at all. 
=== Fierceteeth ===
It isn't uncommon for Fierceteeth to cough up blood or get sick due to Darkstalker's attempt to turn her into Clearsight. Her scales are warmer than most dragons', but because the enchantment was removed quickly, there are no major effects.
