User:Oscar Kiebler/Necromancy Syndrome

Discovered by amateur psychologist Oscar Kiebler, Necromancy Syndrome is a psychological disorder with which the patients believe they known the set date of their death

Symptoms
Necromancy Syndrome (NS) is characterized by several symptoms, although the list is still in prototype phase these are the signs exhibited so far in patients.
 * Delusions of preset fate
 * Extreme sense of predetermined destiny
 * Frequent recurring dreams, primarily concerning the fate of the patient, usually involving a set date upon which they will die.
 * Megalomania
 * Paranoia

Causes
As of yet Kiebler has not found a definite cause of NS, his theories, whilst numerous, are also difficult to find sufficient evidence for. He is still unsure that there could be a second case of NS.In the case of the first patient (see History) the patient developed an obessesion from childhood with the number two hundred and twenty two (222), the obsession soon developed into a growing fear of the number and the date 22.2.22, coupled with the patients first 'flow' experience (writing a short story), this developed into a delusion. the patient believes that to his rapidly approaching death he needs to accomplish a pre-set goal (writing five books).

History
Kiebler worked as an amateur psychologist mainly aiding families who wanted a specialist in child psychology. It was through this he met the first Necromancy Syndrome sufferer, Damien Rants. So far the first and only sufferer of NS in Kiebler's studies. Damien exhibited an odd combination of delusions, the first of which being a belief there was an explosive planted within his brain, programmed to detonate on the date 22.2.22, the second being an unmitigated desire to achieve a goal, the goal being t write five books.Unlike most patients he exhibited no signs of the goal averting his destiny only that he must reach it.This resulted in an almost fanatical drive during his teenage years. After the rants case, soon to become Kiebler's first book, Kiebler's chief concern was with the rest of the population he worries that the condition, coined Necromancy Syndrome, may cause several suicides (when asked about it Damien replied: '23.2.22 isn't a date'). To aid research into NS Kiebler has started posting on social sites to perform free internet diagnosis's naming the organization NSF.
