Magic Arteries Corrosion

This is a disease that only occurs for grifix with very intense magic flow. There is a certain protein in the magic that can lead to the corrosion of the magic arteries if the flow is very intense. The protein is genetic, and it is transmitted by the same gene that causes a light coat for a grifix. It is very unlikely that this genetic disease will occur on darker coat grifix because they don’t have this gene.

Symptoms:

The arteries corrode and the magic flow starts losing its intensity. Their flow and magic power decreases.

The magic orbs start to become smaller, and they alter their shape to lesser shapes or to irregular ones. Orb system satellites are usually the first to go.

In advanced stages, the orbs will fall off and the magic gem flow will cease to happen. The grifix will have very weak magic.

Treatment:

The effects of the disease can not be reversed permanently, it is chronic. There are ways to slow it down or reverse the effects just slightly, but they are not permanent.

Angel Yokai seem to be able to stop the illness progression - if they want to. Usually they don't.

Everfree Healers:

Everfree Healers go through very strong sudden flows of magic during rituals, prophecies and communicating with the Stars. This leads to the illness occurring even in grifix without magic gems or orbs.

Before the Great Migration, light coated grifix with powerful magic were allowed to become healers. But this disease proved to be a real issue with them. Many died from ruptured magic arteries as a result. When they were able to figure out that darker coated grifix were not suffering from this, light coated grifix stopped taking on the role of Healer.

Summary: it is still true that dark coated grifix are generally stronger, but that is not always true. The disposition for magic arteries corrosion is the reason why stronger light grifix are not allowed to become healers in the Everfree Village.
