Arcane Plague

Unlike the typical plague, the Arcane Plague is not a standard sickness as medical science understands. The Arcane Plague was created by a primordial deity from the first wave of gods, Sulara, as a means to create a third wave of gods and reignite the war of the gods that ravaged the entirety of the second era—Anno Tenebris. The plague began in 1475 AV and was mostly ended in 1476 AV, however, it is still getting passed to individuals as of 1501 AV. 
The nature of the plague is as follows: those who become “infected” with the plague become conduits of arcane energy, manifesting power until they either ascend to godhood or lose control of their magic and succumb to it. There is no cure to the plague as of 1501 AV.
== Rate of Infection ==
There are two known stages for the Arcane Plague. The first stage involves the contraction of the plague, when inherent magical power begins to rise. This stage is not largely contagious (though can be contracted through blood contact—individual magic in blood) and is most often asymptomatic or easily mistaken for a manifestation of arcane abilities. A majority of the infection time takes place during this time.
The second stage is when the plague becomes dangerous, as the manifestation of arcane power becomes noticeably chaotic in nature, whether it be a magical ability that cannot be turned off or some sort of continuous lack of control and production of arcane energy. This is when the plague actively becomes extremely infectious and simply coming in contact with the arcane flares from a carrier can spread the infection. People who enter this stage of the plague will survive anywhere between a day and a few months without proper intensive treatment, unless they ascend to godhood. 
Part of why it was dubbed a plague is due to how it spreads. The plague spreads through contact with the magic of someone who is infected by the plague. People can be carriers of the plague without actively spreading it, as it only spreads typical once the infected individual hits a critical point. 
== Treatments ==
While there is no cure to the plague, there are a number of treatments that people have found to stop the effects of the plague. Early on, it was found that magic users who contracted the plague could greatly slow it’s advancement by neglecting to use magic. Later, research was done on these individuals and it was found that wearing anti-magic charms puts an immediate stop to the plague. While there is no cure, these anti-magic charms mean that the plague is no longer a death sentence for carriers and eliminates the spread of the plague.
== Known Carriers ==
Kemen de Estella
====== Leech de Estella ======
A peculiar case, Leech was born with the plague in 1492 AV within the Exclusion Zone of Estella. While by all means and consideration Leech has the second stage of the plague, they seem to not be contagious at the same rate and is contagious as if they are in stage one. On record, Leech has been in the second stage longer than any other individual sans treatment.
====== Lor McAvity ======
Died of the plague in 1476 AV.
