Curse Manipulation
From The Character Database
Curse Manipulation is the ability to inflict and control curses, which are fantastical abilities designed to cause harm and misfortune to the target. Typically depicted as magical in nature, curses generally fall under the classification of Dark Arts, but they can sometimes be designated differently.
Possible Uses:
- Death Manipulation:
- Inflict instantaneous death on the target, swiftly murdering them through the use of a curse.
- Mind Manipulation:
- Control the target by casting a curse that allows the user to manipulate the target from a distance without needing to actively concentrate on them.
- Pain Manipulation:
- Torture the target by casting a curse that induces sensations of agony at the user's will.
Limitations:
- Resistance: Some individuals may have natural or learned resistances to curses.
- Counter-Curses: There may be specific spells or rituals that can remove or nullify curses.
- Backfire: Improperly cast curses may backfire and affect the caster.
- Duration: Some curses may have a limited duration or require periodic reinforcement to maintain their effects.
- Detection: The presence of a curse might be detectable by those with specific abilities or awareness.
