Curses

Drawing on the darker side of mysticism, those of the Shaman class have the ability to afflict their enemies with Curses, a deadly skill that can sometimes be prevented only by a curseward. Curses draws on the dark side of the mystic world for its power. It is a simple, yet powerful and deadly skill, allowing one to reel off curse after curse in quick and deadly succession. The curses available range from epilepsy to vertigo to the voyria plague.

The Curses skill is available to members of the Shaman class, along with Spiritlore and Vodun
