Mana Numbness

It wouldn't be wise if you consume too much of those Mana Potions. Otherwise, your body can't take it and suffer the loss of your limbs for a while. Trust me, my friend had been in that situation after he drank too much of it.

Mana Numbness is one of the uncommon conditions that is brought upon consuming too many potions that contain Magus Herbs such as Mana Potions and Magic Concentration Potion.

Causes

Mana Numbness only occurs when someone consumes too many Mana Potions. Most of the patients who experienced it were consist of people with low mana reserves.

Symptoms

When a patient first consumes too much Mana Potions, they will first experience symptoms similar to intoxication such as decreased coordination and trouble walking. After a few minutes, patients will start to experience its namesake from the loss of sensation of their limbs for about 10-20 minutes, akin to a minor paralysis.   Once the patient recovers from the numbness, they will experience a random, yet uncontrollable magic ability or condition such as:
  • Short-term flight
  • Telekinesis
  • Aura Sense
  • Enhanced Senses

Treatment

It can be treated by naturally expel the excess Mana from their bodies. It can also be treated by consuming them through casting a spell, though this only occurs once the patient is freed from numbness.   Another alternative treatment is a Mana Drain spell, which allows the user to take the excess Mana away from the patient. However, only people who have high Mana reserves are allowed to use this treatment without any risks.

Prognosis

Despite the causes and symptoms, the Mana Numbness is non-fatal. Records show that patients tend to recover from their initial symptoms around 10 to 30 minutes depending on how much Mana reserves and Mana Potions they consumed. As for its magical side effects, it will take about 10-15 minutes depending on how their excess Mana has been expelled from their bodies.

Prevention

Many magicians and doctors recommend that to avoid Mana Numbness, they must drink the right amount of potions after every battle or after they use magic in their everyday lives.

Is the random ability a 100% guarantee, and if so, do you get the same one each time (1st is random, but after that, it's set in stone? ~ guess it's good that it's non-fatal :)

It's 100% guarantee, though there's a chance you might get the same condition as before.
