Black Blood
An old disease of origin unknown. It seems to be genetic as it follows a recessive pattern.
The name comes from an old theory that said people with this affliction have a blood made of some dark material that prevent magic flow to reach the bones.
Actually, the people affected by it cannot assimilate any magical mineral. They are unaffected by spell of any kind. They can move through magic walls without breaking them, through sensors without triggering them, they see through illusions and glamours, and they can deactivate runes on touch. They are also unable to activate any magical item. Black Bloods are extremely rare in the The Capitol because it relies so much on magical artefacts that being a black blood becomes a real handicap. Some part of the town are simply not accessible to them. They usually live on the outskirt of the kingdom, in villages, where being a Black Blood isn't much of a problem.

Cultural Reception
In most villages, people can live years without even knowing they're black bloods. Magic is use ine moderation and artefacts are too expensive for most, so no one really care about this condition.
Around and in the The Capitol, they are seen as problematic. Since most of the tools are artefact, they have a hard time finding a job. People are so used to using magic all the time there that black bloods are unnerving. Beside, since most security tools are pure magical, they are hated on by guards.
Some manage to find a place in security, as they can see through illusions, or in laboratories, where they can manipulate some dangerous magic artefacts. even there, they are met with defiance.
