Bloodborne Plague

Bloodborne is a disease that derives from Chaos Magic, spread properly only by vertebrates and invertebrates that possess the ability to carry venom. It has a strange effect on anything inorganic, and can only function properly when it reaches the mind.

## Properties

Being the remnants of Chaos Magic, Bloodborne is a highly dangerous and contributing disease that has spread in various places of The World Between. It is attracted to anything made of organic matter and cannot spread through simple touch. Bloodborne only retains a liquid form, completely defying any form of attempt in changing its state or motion. It possesses a strong aroma that attracts critters capable of venom, specifically arthropods like Arachnids and Rhopaloceras. Though it also has the potential to derive from lacertilians such as snakes or lizards. Upon being consumed, the liquid will reach the glands or proboscis of the said animal, allowing the disease to spread through a bite. It is seemingly capable of altering its own gravitational pull, going so far as to float, attract obstacles, and even create black holes. This does not function when inorganic objects are near, losing every capacity to interact. Alongside this, Bloodborne has a latent ability to crystalize whenever heat reaches 210 celsius, despite not maintaining an elemental origin.

## Side Effects

When in this category, Bloodborne is treatable. However, each stage is a lot harder to fix and can lead to various mental illnesses after removing the said problem.

### Hyperhidrosis

One of the most common symptoms of Bloodborne is overexaggerated sweating. This can only happen if physical touch has occurred with the disease for a short period, coming to effect in roughly 30 minutes due to alterations in the sweat glands. It is possible to wash it away with water, as the Bloodborne is too small to have any gravitational effects.

### Muscular Contraction

If not washed away, Bloodborne can cause long-term spasms depending on where it was present prior to digging deeper into the body. This can go from sudden movements within the muscles to excruciating pain, only ceasing to exist when cold is put on the body part.

### Bone Breakage

When reaching the deepest part of a limb, Bloodborne can decrease the bone density of any skeletal structure. This can result in various cracks in the bones, and may even result in the limb exploding. The only way to remove the Bloodborne when it reaches this stage is through surgery or amputation.

## Main Effects

When in this category, Bloodborne is far from treatable. The disease has spread for too long and much, therefore becoming undone.

### Severe Cephalgia

When the Bloodborne reaches the brain through the circulatory system, it may cause a headache so unbearable that a stroke occurs. This is not guaranteed, as the disease prefers to alter the mind in other ways depending on how much intellect the being in question has.

### Movement Control

Further through the symptoms of Bloodborne, the disease takes control over the cerebellum. This makes every movement of the infected completely uncontrolled by them, forced to do things they originally don't want to do.

### Complete Mind Manipulation

This is the final symptom of Bloodborne, completely altering every part of the brain to its own will. The only thing reminiscent of the being infected is its personality before getting infected, such as intelligence or any form aspect related to its SOUL trait.

## Trivia

* Bloodborne works very similarly to Rabies, but actually functions with animals that aren't mammals.
