MagicPox

The MagicPox is a devastating disease that Gifted's contract from the MagicPox bacteria. It can only be passed from a Gifted to another Gifted, and has no working cure because the government refuses to treat or research MagicPox with it's magical roots. There have been two notable outbreaks of MagicPox- one in 300me (magic era), and one in the present day 10876ne (new era).The outbreaks are on a smaller scale than other outbreaks, but just as damaging. The most recent pandemic was said to have killed over 400 magical Gifteds, depleting the small population to further drastic numbers.

The MagicPox can be dangerous for civilians and gifteds alike who are anywhere near an infected magical victim. The Pox increases magical ability and as it progresses the victim loses control over themselves and can harm anyone within range of their increased power.

Symptoms
Some symptoms of magicpox are:

- Spiked/rampant magic abilities

- Incoherent thoughts

- Fever

- Chills

- Common cold symptoms

- Deterioration of internal functions

Fever Progression
Initially the only sign of the MagicPox is a raised temperature and some cold-like symptoms such as sore throat, coughing, and stomach pain. As it progresses through the system MagicPox reaches the center of the body that affects gifted's magic and wipes away the natural safeguards that are in place to stop it from being uncontrolled. Scientists in AMGTP are still unsure as to what happens next, but the fever eventually reaches a point where the magical gifted is unaware of anything around him/her and their magic is wild and unconstrained. The government fears the MagicPox victims more than any normal magical, and has taken the lives of many of the victims.

Treatment
Little is known about the disease, and what is known isn't tested or proven. Sadly, once MagicPox is contracted, there is only a small hope for survival. Two cases are known to have caught MagicPox and lived. Arabella Glin (ne), and Diricau Faran (me)
