I'm writing a story where a character will become very ill in some sort of aether related way. Lore permitting, I'd like corrupted crystals to be the cause, though I can't seem to recall coming across any details with what corrupted crystals could do in that regard, if anything; I just recall them being dangerous and unstable.
Would an overexposure to the corrupted crystals cause some sort of aetherical disturbance in the person? If so, would this sort of sickness be fatal? Maybe the person's aether would inherit this instability or maybe it's just a more severe strain of the already problematic "aether sickness?" Whether or not there's a definite answer, I think it's interesting to speculate on.
