"All diseases are caused by spirits, magic, curses, etc. I am not sure what a “naturalistic” disease would be." Jeff October 8, 2020.
It's stated in many places that diseases are caused by spirits. Does that apply to infections as well as disease? And, if so, what causes decay? If it's spirits, are they Malia's disease spirits. And then, does that mean decay is regarded as chaotic? And, b y many cultures a bad thing?
Or maybe my initial assumption is wrong, and not all disease spirits are Malia's?
