So, I’m making a manual of diseases that are in my world, and I just wanted to get feedback on this entry, is there something I can improve? I’m rather proud of it

Dædricitis (Day-dri-sigh-tis)

Dædricitis is a corporeal affliction that is contracted after the victim receives any type of flesh wound from a class B demonic entity or higher

The initial effects of Dædricitis vary, but the most common are:

-Nausea -Vomiting -Temporary Blindness

During the initial phases, it is easily cured with a basic healing spell or potion

During later stages. The infected individual will always experience the following side effects:

-Veins pulsating around the wounded area -Deep purple discolouration of the wounded area -Mild Visual Hallucinations

During these stages, treatment is much more complicated. To treat mid stage Dædricitis, you will need grade A or higher Black Sage. Light the sage, and press the burning area to the wound. This treatment is incredibly painful. But it will have effectively cleansed the area of demonic presence.

During the final stages, recovery is incredibly difficult. During this stage, infected will experience the following:

-Purple discolouration across entire body -Total Paralysis -Vivid Hallucinations -Increased demonic activity around infected -Inability to speak -Pain across entire body

Treatment of late stage Dædricitis must be carried out by an A class Exorcist or higher, with a specialty around healing. A brew consisting of B grade holy water, red wine and kerosene in the ratio of 4:3:1 is to be poured into an open vessel, where a bandage/cloth is to be completely soaked, ready for application. The soaked bandage is to then be applied to the initial site of the wound. Once applied, the cleansing chant (Kae-Rhe-Fa) is to be uttered by the exorcist, before lighting the bandage whilst still applied. The process causes intense pain, but the concoctions effects, alongside the chant, will cleanse the wound entirely
