Virlexia

Virlexia (aka Mania, Madness, Kyoki Yashi) is a mental illness which affects mages. Some phages (such as Luxanima Cao) leave their hosts more susceptible to Virlexia, but it effects all mages eventually.

Symptoms of Virlexia vary from host to host, but almost always include auditory hallucinations, insomnia, and irrational anger. If untreated, Virlexia will lead to memory loss, involuntary consecration, bloodlust, and suicide.

Virlexia can be treated in three ways: with pleasure, with ambrosia, or through the power of Omni Felix. There is no cure for Virlexia.

"On the topic of Mage Law, there is but one I have found to be consistent across all hosts, and it is thus: kyoki ya shi [madness or death]" -Shiva Acharya, in Unmai
