Originium is an integral part of our society. It is the source of energy upon which Terra has come to rely. Without it, our cities would go unpowered and all technological advancement would grind to a halt. Oripathy is a small price to pay for the wonders that Originium promises us - or so think the wealthy and the powerful who command the workers to mine the resource while they sit in the safety of their homes.
I very much fear that if your ailment is anything like Oripathy, there is little I can do. At present, I am a contractor for an organization called Rhodes Island, the only group seeking a treatment for Oripathy on Terra. If I had access to their medication, I could slow or halt your crystallization. But my own abilities are not capable of doing so.
