Curse is an Adelbrand masterpiece, usually cast upon a human. It transforms the victim, often profoundly, and may impose restrictions suited to the new form.
Every well-made curse includes a condition that can end it. Its elegance and difficulty strengthen the spell:
- A moderately elegant ending condition adds +5 to the spell DC. It should challenge the victim while leaving a reasonable hope of freedom.
- An elegant ending condition adds +15 to the spell DC. It becomes a true riddle woven into the magic, difficult but rewarding to solve.
If the curse physically transforms the victim, a Fortitude Save can resist or lessen some of its effects. The Adelbrands call this formula the Peasant's Curse of Cerberus, a jewel of their dark art and their understanding of the laws that govern curses.
