Crypto Curse

Crypto (rarely: Shadow Curse) is a curse that is artifically created. Those affected tend to act feral, grow in strengh enourmously and attack anything in their sight.

Origin
The Crypto Curse was first recorded more than 500 years ago. It's caused by using a highly concentrated poison and an intense shock of pain. This combination of the two stimuli causes the Crypto Cruse.

One organisation that uses this old practice for profit is the Crypto Mafia. They are known to abduct Elementals and turn them into Cryptos with machines mimicking the old technique used to cause the curse. Those affected are either used as Gladiators, sold as soldiers to other countries or used as a form of intimidation by other criminal groups.

This curse cannot be lifted by anyone except for every reincarnation of Celebi. Learning this takes a lot work and practice guided by expierenced healers.

Known Cryptos

 * Gawain (in Night of the Living Dead; healed by Celebi)

Trivia

 * Back in the day the Crypto Curse was usually caused as an accident or by Witches.
 * Cryptofication has been illegal for over 100 years by now.
