Create a Curse!

[Minibit]

Curses, sometimes called hexes, are unfortunate enchantments cast on people or objects, often as punishment or retribution. They can be situational or constant, and some curses are even transmittable through genetics or magical interference!
In this exercise, you are to design an undesirable enchantment that fits the description of a 'curse'!

Name: what's this curse called?
Danger level: is this curse more like a prank? Is it a serious problem or more like a nuisance?
Notoriety: is this curse widely known?
Effects: what's it DO?
Casting: what is necessary to inflict this curse? Is it easy to inflict?
Casters: who can inflict this curse? Is it exclusive to a certain race, or caste of magic users?
Target: is this a curse for living things? Objects? Plants?
Transmission: is this a curse that can spread or switch victims? How?
Trigger: is the curse in constant effect or do certain things trigger it?
Cure: can the curse be lifted? If so, how?

 

[PhantomPlazma]

Name: Tenebrae Veil

Danger level: Extremely High

Notoriety: Only a few people know of its existence and the rest only see it as a myth.

Effects: It causes the victim to be covered in a veil of darkness that alters their mind and appearance into that of a weird creature (Or if on an object into a warped evil version of itself) and it takes the victims soul and replaces it with darkness and turns the vixtim into what in known as a Darkling. Also if the caster is very powerful they could cause the curse to reach a wider area (A town, Village, Island, Country)

Casting: To cast this curse you need to have a heart full of evil and no emotions (Besides anger, Sadness, etc.) and be well trained in the Forbiden Dark Arts (Not the same as regular dark arts)

Casters: Usually only demons could cast this but on rare occasions others have been able to cast this
as well.

Target: Anything

Transmission: If a person/object were to touch or be touched by something while covered in the veil the veil will cover the other thing also.

Trigger: Constant

Cure: Can only be lifted in 3 ways

1. The Caster were to be killed.

2. Very powerful holy magic

3. Direct sunlight (But since they are turned into a Darkling they fear direct sunlight)

 

[Shirosaki]

Name- Taraluein
Danger level- Usually minor and more of a nuisance, but it can depend on one's daily life.
Notoriety- Known locally where dandelions are abundant.
Effects- It causes paralysis in one major muscle group for 2.3 seconds.
Casting- Dandelion seed heads have to come into contact with an open wound.
Casters- Anyone can sprinkle some fluff onto lacerations but no one really does that. More often, it's an unlucky natural occurrence where the winds carry dandelion heads into animals' and people's injuries.
Target- Humans and animals.
Transmission- Blood transfusion from a carrier, which is uncommon.
Trigger- The paralysis is completely arbitrary but it has been known to take effect at least once a day. The highest amount of times, 4, was recorded from a man who stayed up for 19 hours. He complained that it got more frequent as he neared the 24 hour mark.
Cure- No one has found a legitimate cure, but one can cut down the time they have taraluein to a week by engaging in ten minutes of daily moderate physical activity. Otherwise it goes away after a month.

Effect: Blood burst out, creating a wound on the person ranging from minor cut (not in battle) to a sizable gash (in battle).

Notoriety: None but the one that uses it
Effects: once you start doing something important, you pass out entirely

Target: anything that can become dormant or fall asleep. Machines get turned off and golems are unaffected.
Transmission: Single target, does not spread.
Trigger: constant
Cure:Death, but being revived brings back the curse since it infects your soul, not your body
