Hemogen craving

Due to a lack of hemogen, this person's body is breaking down hemogen reserves in their bone marrow. This causes disorientation and a painful craving for human blood.

— Description

When a hemogenic pawns hemogen reserves hit 0, they begin having a craving for hemogen. This craving inflicts increasingly severe mood, pain, and consciousness penalties. Once hemogen is over 0, the severity of the craving gradually decays until it disappears.

Hemogen craving does not accelerate hemogen decay, even when as severity decreases.
