A scholary woman, Anna Magdelena studied the psychology of Elder Kindred. She coined the term Afflotoxis to describe the process of wasting mentally away that affects most Elders at a certain period of time. As Elders came to experience fewer and fewer real sensations, they become jaded and sociopathic, as other persons become pieces in their own mini-Jyhads that are waged as much for survival as for amusement.
