Disease, untreated, causes death. Contracting a Disease results in Hit Point and Stat loss in line with the severity of the infection (some Diseases have an incubation period of several days). Diseases can be fatal, although many simply run their course (occasionally resulting in permanent damage).

Its effects are gradual, beginning with increased Strength and Stamina, but decreased Hit Points and Skill, until you finally turn to solid Crystal!
