Some actions may result in pop-up messages or in diary entries.

Treat/Cure a symptom

To treat a symptom your character has the choice to consume:

• a potion: the symptoms will disappear for 24 hours
• a curative compound: the symptom(s) and the disease causing it/them are permanentely cured

Intensity of symptoms

Each symptom is described by an intensity characterizing the severity of the disease. Each intensity corresponds to an imbalance range (bilious, splenetic, phlegmatic, sanguinary, spiritual imbalance):

• Intensity 1: imbalance reaching from 1 to 2
• Intensity 2: imbalance reaching from 3 to 6
• Intensity 3: imbalance reaching from 7 to 10

It is possible to know about the imbalance if the intensity of the symptom is known. However, even if these indications of intensities make it possible to treat oneself summarily by practicing self-medication based on potions, only a extensive consultation with a physician will allow to know precisely the imbalance and the corresponding potion for treatment, one that will not unbalance anything else.

But, this is only valid as long as the character has only one symptom, because as soon as there are two symptoms things get complicated since the description of the symptoms is general:

• If the sum of the imbalances of the symptom is <=2: "You feel woozy."
• If the sum of the imbalances of the symptom is from 3 to 6: "You feel sick."
• If the sum of the imbalances of the symptom is >7: "The pain radiates throughout your body."

If your character has several symptoms, self-medication becomes very difficult because you do not even know what type of imbalance it is. Consultation is absolutely necessary.
