Curses

Dreyrull is full of wicked mages and dark curses - often player-created and spread. This is a running index of curses, their effects, and how they spread.
==Monochrisis==
=====Physical Effects =====
Turns the cursed individual's coat bright white with striking black, angular markings.
====Mental Effects====
Causes feelings of anger, rage, and madness. Alters the individual's personality.
====Origin====
Unknown. First individual known to have it was a Barren aershaa by the name of Arsliah [Played by iHibari Kyoya], so it's thought to have been a creation of man and their slave furrs. 
====Spread====
Only known to spread by bite, and can only be spread from aershaa to aershaa.
====Cure====
There are two cures for Monochrisis. The first is a deep, devoted love to another. Without companionship, however, the individual must find a certain flower, whose name and existence is only known by Arsliah.
==Mutatio==
====Physical Effects====
An entirely physical curse, mutatio is a rare mage's ability to transform one being into another. This is usually done as a lesson on humility.
====Mental Effects====
None, however the caster would hope that the transformation would cure the individual of their arrogance and/or stupidity.
====Origin====
As a spell steeped in myth and legend, it's considered as old as time; as old as the world of fairytales, and yet, quite real.
====Spread====
Mutatio is not infectious, and can only be given to an individual by a well-seasoned, well-practiced Classes#Shiftmage Castshifter.
====Cure====
Can only be removed by the original spellcaster. Their death will not end the spell - it is otherwise permanent.
==Undeath==
====Physical Effects====
The curse of undeath grants the individual eternal life, but not eternal youth. Flesh rots away, insects move in, bones crack, teeth rot, nerves disappear, and eventually they become animated bones. The curse itself ties the spirit to the physical form and grants it the ability to animate what becomes, essentially, a walking corpse, even without muscle and tendon to move its ligaments.
====Mental Effects====
Mental effects vary from individual to individual, depending on how one handles losing their sense of touch, taste, and smell, as well as outliving the world around them.
====Origin====
Though the true origin is unknown, legend has it that a pack of wicked aershaa wished to live eternally. They traveled high into the mountains, seeking out the tip of Mount Life of Old World Hassava, where rumor said lived a powerful old magewoman. They found this magewoman, begging her for the gift she so cherished, and she gave it freely, decintegrating to dust as she bestowed it upon them. "What my greed gave me shall eternally be yours; my bane to your bane, my dust to your blood..."
====Spread====
The curse of Undeath has to be given to the individual willingly, and can only spread from aershaa to aershaa.
====Cure====
See "spread."
