Crypto Curse

Crypto (rarely: Shadow Curse) is a curse that is artifically created. It makes the victim go mad and feral, grows their strengh enourmously and making them attack anything in their sight.

Origin
The crypto curse has a procedure that was first recorded more than 500 years ago. A special poison is created out of a toxin with high intensity and dark matter. This special poison, together with an intense shock of pain, gives an Elemental the Crypto Curse.

In Phoenie, there is an organization called the Crypto Mafia, which has specialized in kidnapping all kinds of people to make them crypto slaves to sell. Cryptos are sold as Gladiator slaves, as a form of intimidation, and as soldiers to countries where there‘s still war going on.

This curse cannot be lifted by anyone except for Celebi, any reincarnation. But they will need to practise a lot.
