Brainstorming the sorcery sickness I need for the next fic I'm writing for FUW 2026.
Potential symptoms:
Inflammation of the sorcery system so the sorcery lobe in the brain and key components of the body for an individual's sorcery
Fever
Weakness
Lethargy
Symptoms specific to the individual
Typically it affects people 15 and younger. It's rare in adults, though usually more lethal in adults due to a fully developed sorcery system. It's typically a secondary infection that happens after another illness. General theory is it's caused by an inflammatory response festering in the sorcery system. It can also happen after a bad allergic reaction. Once you have it once, you will never have it again. It typically lasts 1 - 4 days depending on someone's base level inflammatory state and care
There are some things that can be done to mitigate spread since there's debate if you can catch it from someone who has it (the chicken and egg problem).
Quarantine a person in a room with the window cracked
Person whose sick should reuse the same dishes, the person doing the dishes should be immune or use disposable dishes
Masks for the sick person and for non-immune
Food that helps decrease inflammation
Uruha has this before back in the dojo at the same time Samura did. They were eight and twelve or thirteen when they had it. Uruha can't remember being sicker.
Fushimi's symptoms:
Fever
Weakness
Respiratory distress (can inhale his own smoke to clear it from the air)
Fainting
Numbness in his hands since he frequently reinforces them with his sorcery and he can emit smoke from his hands
Fatigue
Probably other things. Like if it was Hakuri who had it, He would likely have nosebleeds, numb and/or swollen hands, and his left eye would likely be inflamed. His palms would probably be discolored from inflammation too.
I just wanted to put my thoughts together so I'll have a clear plan when I start draft 0 sometimes probably tomorrow
