every day after exposure, make a constitution saving throw(DC 10) to see if the spread worsens. the DC is raised by 5 after every successful roll. ever failed to save leads to a new stage of infection and DC reset to 10. leaving the area of influence to stop the infection from spreading works. but any symptoms past stage two do not go away naturally and must be treated.
Stage zero: asymptomatic, no negative effects
Stage one: roll a D6, 1-2 are arms, 3-4 are legs, 5 is the torso, 6 is head. that area now has small crystal growths on the skin. "-1 to cha checks"

Transmission & Vectors
It can only be contracted by exposure to extreme cases of wild magic. aside from that, it is not contagious.
Causes
It is contracted after exposure to raw unrefined mana for an extended period. The infection rate depends on the severity of the exposure.
Symptoms
parts of the body show crystalline-like structures, starting small, if caught early, it can easily be treated by removing the structures, shower more exposure to wild mana may accelerate crystal growth, it then replaces the epidermis, the muscle tissue, then bone.
once the subject's blood is affected, it is irreversible. and will prove fatal. after which the body will become a crystal and function as wild mana, but these subjects often tend to explode and become inert after several hours.
