[he murmurs a brief incantation, and a ring of light rises from the ground, flickering in spectrographic colors as it passes from head to toe and back again. it pauses at his neck, rapidly shifting between colors and patterns, before continuing]
...interesting. Have you perhaps had contact with a young lady named either Angelfish or Pallas?
I believe we may be able to do better than "incurable", but I can't promise a quick or easy remedy. For now, I'll need a sample of the crystalline formation, and by this evening I'll synthesize a medication which will mitigate some of the worst symptoms. It will not, unfortunately, be a cure, but it should slow the progression of the disease to some extent as well.
Do you have any other pre-existing conditions? I presume you're not currently taking other medication under the circumstances.
If you wish to refuse treatment, that is of course your prerogative, though I believe the medication should also reduce the symptoms of the condition. However, I will need to insist on the sample, at least.
The condition originates from their world, so it would be best to seek one of them out. Pallas is likely to be more knowledgeable, as she's studied the condition more comprehensively.

I'll deliver the medication once I've prepared it; afterward, it will be up to you to use it or not. Understand that it will be a pallative, however, and not a cure; it will reduce the symptoms, but not eliminate them. Now, please hold still.
[as promised, the process is painless, though possibly a little disturbing to look at; a murmured word, and a fine slit appears in the skin of the infection, peeling back slightly to expose the hard black crystals. a faint tug as a good portion of the crystals are removed, levitating away to hover in the air unaided, and then Paracelsus closes and seals the wound, hands glowing with soothing green prana as the incision vanishes without a trace.
immediately he deposits the bloody originium into a small vial and starts layering it with wards.]
[ you know what he's been through so much shit in the past few days that this is basically nothing. even if it's kind of .... weird. shudders a little-- ]
[ignoring this byplay, he finishes warding the vial and slips it carefully into a coat pocket]
Thank you for your cooperation. I'll deliver the medication as soon as it's available; my hope is by this evening, but one never knows whether events will intervene.

[it's ambiguous whether that was addressed to Ember or Akito, but he turns to the latter fully]
If you would kindly describe your current symptoms, in as much detail as possible? It will make the initial examination much more efficient.
