I’m supposed to be asleep but uh, the headcanons are infesting my brain
Quintessence poisoning
quintessence can be used for pain relief and healing, but on the other hand I think it can also be used for other means. A quint ghoul could deliver a deadly dose of quint to someone’s heart to make it stop beating, or use quint to explode someone’s eardrums. Even make someone sick with to much quint on accident.
the main problem with this is if a quintessence ghoul become extremely stressed or extremely depressed they can poison themselves with out knowing. They poison themselves to badly sometimes it can be fatal. Normally humans cannot smell a ghoul like other ghouls can, but with quint poisoning they smell burnt plastic or a rotting smell coming from the ghoul.
Symptoms: (tw!!! Emetophobia!!!!)
-Migraines
-lack of sleep
-loss of appetite
-vomiting
-fainting
-overheating
-preexisting conditions worsening
-feeling extremely cold or hot while being the opposite
-confusion
-full body aches
so on and so forth
It’s a rare thing to see a quint poison themselves and EXTREMELY rare that it’s fatal.
it does take a while to recover from depending upon how much quint the ghoul accidentally doses themselves with
okay I’m done rambling :)
