Arcardi Zombie Disease

A version of the Arcardi Plague. While the Arcardi Plague degrades the body the Arcardi Zombie Disease increases the strength in the carries body. This strains on the body which causes organs and muscles to fail about a week to a month after he first symptoms appear. The Arcardi plague generally does not affect the brain of the carrier or and their mental capability. The Arcardi Zombie Disease gets its name from one of its most noticeably symptoms, being that anyone that gets sick very quickly loses almost all intelligence, leaving them as empty hungry shells, much like zombies. While normal zombies are known to hunger for flesh, Arcardi Zombies (what creatures affected with the Arcardi Zombie Disease commonly are called) instead hunger for magic and magic users.
Rules: A creature with the disease must make a CON saving throw each day. After the 5th fail the second state of the cycle starts. During the second state the creature has a 75% chance of losing 1 int each day until it reaches 4. During this time its STR increase with 4 and its DEX and CON with 2. The WIS and CHA is decreased with 4 each (to a minimum of 1). Then the 3 state of the disease starts.
During the third state the diseased have resistance to magic damage and advantage on saving throws against magic. Bonus from magical items are not applied when attacking Arcardi Zombies. The diseased has a 25% risk of losing 1 INT each day. If it reaches 0 they immediately die.
The disease may not be treated by magical means, except by the Wish spell. Strong magic may pause the disease for a short while.
