External Maledictions

One of two categories of disability and disease outlined by the Sacrarium Corporis, external maledictions are characterized by their visible impact on an individual which make them more readily identifiable.

## Conditions & Treatments

### Obesity

Considered an obligatory treatment due to the impediment excess weight and mass can pose to both ones health, energy levels and mobility. All weight in excess of 20% for men, and 30% for women is subject to compulsory reduction, however based on individual case and preference minor variations occur in the total final amount of body fat considered permissible, often not exceeding a margin of 6%. Students and professors subject to the treatments are ultimately permitted input on their own aesthetic preferences in order to diminish the risk of body dysmorphia. Regardless of individual preferences however, the Sacrarium Corporis does not permit weight ranges that would either be too diminutive or excessive for health and wellbeing.

Treated by diffusing fat cells into hydrogen and particulate waste the patient can then expel through their breath, fat reduction is generally considered a simple procedure, however it requires several sessions of treatments depending on the amount of fat being targeted. The skin is also treated, with cells being triggered to reabsorb into the blood in order to eliminate any excess skin. In the events of insufficient fat stores, the patient will have their existing fat cells stimulated to enter a state of growth by the Malady in order to achieve a more healthy weight.

### Paralysis

Considered an obligatory treatment, prior to the development of the techniques required to restore functionality to a body potential students with severe forms of paralysis were often blanked. Meanwhile, a student who does undergo a radical recovery from paralysis often requires intervention from the Ministry of Propaganda to assist them in developing a new persona within null society given the impossibility of the feat and the questions it would raise. The bylaws of the Sacrarium Corporis state that advanced hand and arm movement cannot be compensated for effectively to meet the demands of the curriculum. Additionally, paralysis which eliminates independent mobility is considered to too greatly diminish the odds of survival for individuals when being required to transverse arcane locations such as The Veiled Forest and is not permitted.

Treatment of paralysis is limited in capability and requires all essential tissue to be present due to the limitations of arcane medicine. The process of restoration of mobility is achieved through a process of reconnecting nerves and fostering stem cell production in order to encourage revivification. In the events that there is a loss of tissue from injury or severe atrophy and only partial mobility can be restored exceptions have been made to allow attendance for students so long as they can walk upright with the assistance of a cane, similarly if mobility cannot be fully restored to the hands and arms amputation and subsequent treatments have been offered to achieve full range of motion.

### Amputation

The loss of a limb or digit is considered an obligatory treatment and requires use of highly advanced machining, spellcasting and arcane technology to treat. For this reason treatment of amputation and loss of limb is generally reserved for only already enrolled students and professors. Treated by the creation of an artificial limb using Artifice in addition to arcane medicine and even Pnumonancy, the patient is outfitted with an Magitech Prosthesis which connects to their nervous system as well as their soul enabling both mobility and spell casting. Potential students generally will be blanked if they are found to be in need of such a device prior to enrollment, however exceptions have been made when compensation can be made to eliminate the adsorbent costs of production.

## Limitations

Despite the advanced abilities of arcane medicine, it is generally considered unable to regenerate lost limbs due to the overwhelming complexity of fabricating an entire body part. In the limited instances recorded wherein limb regeneration was attempted such as in The Demikhov Files, the limb both took exceptional effort and resource to fabricate and would generally be rejected. Modern theorists speculate that the reason for super natural regenerations failure is due to inconsistencies with DNA or other markers, the refined manipulation of which being beyond the capacity of human spellcasting.
