During the Hyra Public Era, the Trans-Ocean Jedi Master Skier began to mysteriously and gradually lose his connection to the Force. Initially, it appeared as those Skiers gradual loss in his connection to the Force, maybe due to the fact that he was heavily traumatized from the events of the Battle of Kerr with Anile, where he lost both his left arm and his friend Joramali. Struggling with the loss of his connection to the Force, Skier was conflicted with temptations from the Dark Side. However, it was eventually discovered that Skier had a disease called Magrax Syndrome, which was the cause of his decreased connection to the Force. Magrax Syndrome was a rare and intense disease, exclusive to Trans-Ocean's that caused their brains to revert to their base instincts of aggression and rage. Although Skier's body was subconsciously fighting the disease, the effort caused him to slowly lose his connection to the Force. This prognosis explained why Skier seemed to be pulled to the Dark Side at times, and why he was slowly losing his connection to the Force.
