The Conductors curse

Introduction
Becoming the Conductor of the traveling orchestra is no easy feat, it's also not what most would expect. Most think that choosing a new Conductor, a successor to the current one, requires talent and the will to command hundreds of thousands under the name of music. When in actuality all it requires is someone with a strong enough spirit to handle the Conductors curse, also known as the Plasma element.

History
The only case of the Plasma element existing is within the first documented Conductor of the traveling orchestra. How they came into contact and managed to wield the Plasma element is unknown. But the family of Rudolfenis the 3rd stated that he gained a musical talent he never had before, something that allowed him to go and form the traveling orchestra.

Properties
The two base properties of the Plasma element is the musical talent it gives its owner upon obtaining it, and the extra intelligence that comes with it. Scientists while studying Miles Baxter have been given a better understanding of what Plasma does to the host, in exchange for giving its owner the added benefits of hundreds of years of musical talent and skill, it drains energy and life from the soul faster than any other Element will. While most Elementals can live up to 150 years old, most Conductors don't live past 80 before passing on the Plasma element to a successor.
