Treatment

The only way to treat someone with Aetherial husking is to preform a mental purge on them. the operation will become harder and more time consuming the longer the victim is suffering from husking, and may suffer other horrific injuries in the process.

Prognosis

although powerfull resources can be acquired from huskiing (ie, Xalium) if one suffers from husking they should immediately seek a Aether priest for a mental purge, after an hour the real effects set in and after two and a half hours it is impossible to save the host and they must be killed.

Cultural Reception

victims of husking are treated very poorly by other people, and might even be killed out in the street to stop a thrall from being created.
