• All ether disease is depicted with integer (i.e. level). There are 16 kinds of diseases, and we will review each of them.
• If you want to see for the effect yourself, just search for that number in code.

Mana Battery

    case 1564:
			ModBase(961, a * 5, hide: false);
			break;

• This disease increase your magic resistance (961) by 5 per level (there is only one level currently).

public void TryAbsorbRod(Thing t)
	{
		if (!IsPC || !(t.trait is TraitRod) || t.c_charges <= 0 || !HasElement(1564))
		{
			return;
		}
		Say("absorbRod", this, t);
		TraitRod rod = t.trait as TraitRod;
		bool flag = false;
		if (rod.source != null)
		{
			using IEnumerator<SourceElement.Row> enumerator = EClass.sources.elements.rows.Where((SourceElement.Row a) => a.id == rod.source.id).GetEnumerator();
			if (enumerator.MoveNext())
			{
				SourceElement.Row current = enumerator.Current;
				if (IsPC)
				{
					GainAbility(current.id, t.c_charges * 100);
					flag = true;
				}
			}
		}
		if (!flag)
		{
			mana.Mod(-50 * t.c_charges);
		}
		t.c_charges = 0;
		LayerInventory.SetDirty(t);
	}
    ...
    public void GainAbility(int ele, int mtp = 100)
	{
		Element orCreateElement = elements.GetOrCreateElement(ele);
		if (orCreateElement.ValueWithoutLink == 0)
		{
			elements.ModBase(orCreateElement.id, 1);
		}
		if (orCreateElement is Spell)
		{
			int num = mtp * orCreateElement.source.charge * (100 + Evalue(307) + (HasElement(307) ? 20 : 0)) / 100 / 100;
			if (orCreateElement.source.charge == 1)
			{
				num = 1;
			}
			orCreateElement.vPotential += Mathf.Max(1, num / 2 + EClass.rnd(num / 2 + 1));
		}
		Say("spell_gain", this, orCreateElement.Name);
		LayerAbility.SetDirty(orCreateElement);
	}

• Once detect PC have mana battery, it will take the charges in a rod, then call Gainability(this spell, 100 * charge number) to give PC this spell.
• This does not mean you get 100 wish spells for 1 charge of wish rod! Each spell have a unique charge parameter (see SourceGame/Element for more), and depend on the charge number it will give you number of spell casting.
  • This value is modified by your memorization skill. If you have the skill, a flat 20% is added, then for each skill level, 1% added.
  • For example, for a wish rod, and you have lvl 80 memorization, the num will equal to = 100 * 1 (Wish has a charge number of 1) * (80+100+20) / 100 / 100 = 2
  • Which is pretty good, yes, you get 2 wishes out of 1 rod, but can you cast it, hum?
• After that, if you are not PC, your mana will be drained by 50 per charge of rod. Then the rod goes to 0 charges.

Poison Hand

    case 1565:
			ModBase(955, a * 20, hide: false);
			break;

• Each level of poison hand raise your poison resistance by 20 (there is only 1 level).

    if (conWeapon == null && weapon == null && (CC.MainElement != Element.Void || CC.HasElement(1565)))
			{
				num5 = (CC.HasElement(1565) ? 915 : CC.MainElement.id);
				num6 = CC.Power / 3 + EClass.rnd(CC.Power / 2);
				if (CC.MainElement != Element.Void)
				{
					num6 += CC.MainElement.Value;
				}
				showEffect = false;
				num7 = 50;
			}

• When you attack with no weapon, all your attack will be transformed into element Poison (915).
• We see in the code a -50% penalty will be applied to your damage as well but this need confirmation.

    public Thing TryPoisonPotion(Thing t)
	{
		if (t.trait is TraitPotion && t.id != "1165" && !t.source.tag.Contains("neg") && EClass.rnd(2) == 0 && HasElement(1565))
		{
			string text = EClass.sources.things.rows.Where((SourceThing.Row a) => a._origin == "potion" && a.tag.Contains("neg") && a.chance > 100).ToList().RandomItemWeighted((SourceThing.Row a) => a.chance)
				.id;
			Say("poisonDrip", this);
			int num = t.Num;
			t.Destroy();
			t = ThingGen.Create(text).SetNum(num);
		}
		return t;
	}

• This is the code use to make all your potions in your bag poison.
• A random chance of 50% is applied first, so there is 50% chance your potion will be spared.
• It also looks like it will transform a whole stack of your potions at once.

Provoke (Enemy Of All Living Things)

    case 1563:
			ModBase(77, -a * (3 + num / 4), hide: false);
			break;

• This negatively modify your charisma (Evalue 77) by (3 + Character level / 4) per level of disease.
  • We saved a bit of code analysis for aesthetic purpose. See vPotential = Char.LV for more detail.

    if (!owner.IsPCFactionOrMinion && EClass.rnd(owner.isSynced ? 50 : 2000) == 0 && owner.hostility == Hostility.Neutral && EClass.pc.party.HasElement(1563) 
        && !owner.race.tag.Contains("animal") && EClass._zone.IsTown && !EClass._zone.IsPCFaction)
		{
			EClass.pc.DoHostileAction(owner);
		}

• Every living thing will turn against you, unless:
  • It is your own faction member or pets.
  • It is not Neutral towards you already.
  • It is an animal.
  • You are not in a town.
  • You are in your own Faction area.
• A random number still need to be rolled for this effect to apply, and it looks like the possibility is pretty, pretty low (2%).
• This effect apply if ANYONE in your party have this ether disease, so watch out.

    if (EClass.pc.party.HasElement(1563) && num < 0)
				{
					num = num * 30 / 100;
				}

• This code appears when a Karma negative modification need to be calculated. Your karma decrease will be cut to 30%, round down to nearest integer.
• So -5 becomes -1, -1 becomes 0.

Stupid (Dementia)

    case 1561:
			ModBase(61, -a * 15, hide: false);
			ModBase(76, -a * (4 + num / 3), hide: false);
			break;

• This disease decrease your mana by a flat 15, then decrease your MAG by (4 + Character LV / 3).

Weak (Weakening)

    case 1560:
			ModBase(60, -a * 15, hide: false);
			ModBase(70, -a * (4 + num / 3), hide: false);
			break;

• This disease decrease your life by a flat 15, then decrease your STG by (4 + Character LV / 3).

Addict (Potion Addict)

    if (EClass.rnd(30) == 0 && EClass.pc.HasElement(1559))
		{
			List<Thing> list = EClass.pc.things.List((Thing a) => a.trait is TraitPotion, onlyAccessible: true);
			if (list.Count > 0)
			{
				EClass.pc.Drink(list.RandomItem());
				EClass.player.EndTurn();
			}
		}

• For a 1/30 chance each round, you will consume a potion, and end your turn.

Rain (Living Humidifier)

    if (condition == Condition.Fine)
		{
			foreach (Chara member in EClass.pc.party.members)
			{
				if (member.HasElement(1558) && EClass.rnd(4) == 0)
				{
					condition = Condition.Rain;
					Msg.Say("drawRain", member);
					break;
				}
			}
		}

• Whenever it is time to set weather of the world, for EACH MEMBER of your team with this disease, 25% chance this will change the weather to rain.

Head (Enlarged Head)

		case 1557:
			ModBase(71, -a * (5 + num / 3), hide: false);
			ModBase(72, -a * (4 + num / 4), hide: false);
			ModBase(74, a * (6 + num / 2), hide: false);
			ModBase(75, a * (2 + num / 6), hide: false);

• Four modifier for this disease:
  • END by - (5 + Character LV / 3)
  • DEX by - (4 + Character LV / 4)
  • LEN by + (6 + Character LV / 2)
  • WIL by + (2 + Character LV / 6)

Violence (Hunger For Slaughter)

			ModBase(77, -a * (5 + num / 5), hide: false);
			if (!hint && a > 0)
			{
				chara?.body.UnequipAll(31);
			}
			break;

• This disease increase you PV by (12 + Character Level), but also decrease you CHA by -(5+ Character level / 5).

			if (!hint && a > 0)
			{
				chara?.body.UnequipAll(33);
			}
			break;
