Karma

Karma, also referred to as karmic debt and divine karma, is a term which refers to the corruptive forces left behind by the wills and powers of slain ancient gods. This term is primarily used in Liyue, where the yakshas were tasked with subduing the resurging might of fallen gods.
==Overview==
Over the course of the Archon War, Morax subdued many other ancient gods. Their powers and hatred seeped into the world, corrupting the land, spawning monsters, and creating pestilence. Contact with karma can induce insanity in humans and corrupt monsters, making them more powerful than normal. Vision-bearers, illuminated beasts, and those with higher elemental sensitivity such as the Traveler have heightened resistance to the effects of karma.
To combat this, Morax summoned the yakshas to come to Liyue's defense by slaughtering the resurging powers of these fallen gods. Over time, however, karma seeped into the bodies and minds of the yakshas, causing them immense suffering. Many of those who did not fall in battle eventually succumbed to their karmic debt and went insane, many of them dying as a result of their insanity.
Adepti can use their form of alchemy to create a medicine called Remedium Tertiorum, which can temporarily alleviate the pain caused by karma. However, like most other adepti medicines, they are lethal to mortals.
