[Hm. "Henir corruption". A phenomenon Passenger hasn't heard of, but then again, what has he actually heard of that makes sense from this small child (source needed)?
The wing "decorations" are indeed part of him, and they'll sometimes emote if he has an actual emotion. Mostly, the feathers stay still, though if Add were to look very closely he might catch them flex once as a light breeze blows past. That, simply, is part of his race; all Liberi have similar feathers. The crystallization he mentions, though, is centred on his forehead in a diamond-shaped mark that may ordinarily be mistaken for some sort of accessory.
Leaning back with arms crossed, he answers all of those questions in order.]
The incubation period is only a scant few days from the first contact to the mineral, assuming it is from unprocessed sources or from particles in the air. Rhodes Island has invented many treatments made to slow the progress of Oripathy, though none have cured it, and the disease so far is always terminal. The speed of infection varies from person to person, though it can be accelerated by the use of Originium Arts. Oripathy cannot spread from person-to-person contact, rather luckily.
Processed Originium is safe to handle, for the most part, though it is still highly volatile under the correct conditions. Raw Originium itself grows across the landscapes where Catastrophes touch — essentially, large, dark storms of a nigh-apocalyptic nature. With that in mind, processed sources of the mineral are oft used as power sources for cities and electronics. I have my doubts that unprocessed Originium can negatively affect machinery.
