Curse (715)

Curse (715) Mnemonic [CURSE] Duration Instantaneous Type Attack (warding)

Imparts one of six dangerous curses upon its target. Use stance to control which curse is cast. It may also be cast directly upon items.

• Holy items cannot be cursed.
• The difficulty to remove a curse is based upon a comparison of the curser's power versus the curse remover's power.
• The damage inflicted by curse is generally minor, it is more commonly used as a disabling spell.

The Six Curses

The following information was harvested from the QRS, which can be found here.

Stance	Type	Color	Success	Affected	Effects

Advancing	Dark force	deep crimson	trembles noticably	extrememly weak	-40 AS; health loss
Forward	AS dropper	blood red	trembles slightly	very weak	-15 AS; may curse held items

Guarded	TD dropper	brackish blue	shakes slightly	vulnerable	-24 or 25 TD, no warding check
Defensive	green mist	sickly green	cringes	extrememly ill	health loss

Cursing Items

Each of these curses may also be cast upon an item. The caster may safely handle their own cursed items, but the moment another character comes in contact with one, they will be subjected to the curse as if it were just cast upon them. This will cause a warding roll which utilizes the sorcerer's CS at the time of the item being cursed. Cursed items will 'stick' in the hand or inventory of the victim, and can only be removed by having Remove Curse (315) cast upon them.
