Calcification
Calcification was the sudden, rapid deposition of minerals in the bloodstream onto bones. Side effects included dizziness, blurred vision, muscle spasms, and muscle weakness. Bacta tank immersion or bed rest could cure it; if untreated, the affliction can become permanent.
Calcification was caused by exposure to high-strength electric fields. It was also one of the after effects of exposure to Force lightning.
History
Edit
Luke Skywalker suffered calcification after the Battle of Endor. It was unknown, however, whether Palpatine also experienced it after his confrontation with Mace Windu.
