Curse of Vileness

To cast a curse on another is to bark on a dangerous journey, one Witches and others alike may never return form. The Curse of Vileness is far more dangerous than others because while inflicting punishment on others, one not able in the skill may turn the punishment onto themselves ten fold if not careful. Women practising curses have died using this Curse because they were unprepared for the power it required to apply.

While it's not fully clear how one casts such a curse as those able in this trade never reveal the secrets of their traid, a laiks have heard certain things about it.

To cast this curse, one must have a lock of hair of the person they wish to cast it on. They must have a drop of tear of said person and a piece of clothing owned and worn by this person. They must have the appropriate ingredients for the potion and they must have the right words. These words are fairly simple and could easily be translated to basic as I curse you, I curse your beauty, I curse you forever. Though no curse specialist has ever used Basic to perform a curse.

Once the words are said, the caster takes out an amount of the brewed potion with a ceremonial chalice and throws the liquid onto its intended victim.

While an expert in the field of curses could throw the curse at any given night, one doing it long enough knows that the best time for this one is at a specific time of the month when Koratas is showing at its fullest. Their intended victim must stand in the black circle drawn on the floor, with a black equilateral triangle three feet or so wide which is placed to the east of the circle with one of the points facing due east. The circle is drawn for each specific curse and erased once its completed. With most of the curse specialists illuminating their place of practice with barely a few candle, said circle is never visible until the full moon lights the room.

To cast a spell, a user doesn't necessarily have to be a witch, as long as they can draw some sort of power into them to conduct the curse.

Ending result of such a curse does not simply leave the victim hungry, it's far worse than that. The person grows old and remains at that appearance even if on the inside they remain whatever age they were and such are able to continue their life as if without the curse but with the appearance of face and body as they have been cursed.

Until this day, no counter-curse has been managed.
