[Mivereous]

I'm not even asking for death, just a semi-buff on minor cases (a buff, even; +RES/FP, or something since that's what the class feels to me from Absorb Veil and Black and Blue) and then a debuff on severe cases.
Nowhere did I say any kind of death. You should all be dead simply for not praising Zera.
And as far as I know, the only people that can see your Afflictions are people in your party while not in combat, so if you wanted to keep your status as private as SL2 can be about stats, there you go.
