Curses

Curses take many forms. They are usually inflicted by powerful magic, requiring a significant amount of power and magic to keep it active, and usually last until the moment of death. There are an almost endless type of curses, but there are several that stand above the others.

## Curse of the Bright Lord

This curse grants the power to peer into things deeper than normal, allowing the accursed to discern the true nature of things such as what its general purpose was. It also allows the accursed to see things around them in a 300 meter radius down to the last molecule, and when focused can let the accursed read the other person's intent and even thoughts. The powers are wonderful, but there is a massive drawback- peering into things is something meant for only the strongest and most powerful are meant to do. Those with the curse of the bright lord will suffer pains like no other, described as hot metal being sloshed around their skulls, to the point of permanently deteriorating their sanity. This periods of pain can last for up to 10 minutes depending on what they peer into, and this curse also naturally deteriorates their sanity regardless of whether they peer into the true nature of things.

## Mark of the Godkiller

Marks that appear all of the accursed's arms and legs. These marks dont seem to take a specific form, but their effect is the same; they allow the accursed to steal the divinity of any and all gods they kill. the divinity is fed into their mark, which provides benefits as the marks grows more and more potent and concentrated with the divine power. the first benefit is the ability to form a god-killing weapon, which takes shape based on the person's ideals and goals. as the mark grows more divine, the second benefit is achieved; their god killing abilities awaken, abilities designed specifically to slaughter gods. this most often comes in the form of manipulation of something, whether it be a concept, energy, or otherwise. as more divinity is absorbed, the mark grows more and more potent. however, this mark brings corruption that can be hard to notice: it isnt impossible to realize your thoughts are beign corrupted, and once realized it can be repelled, but it is very difficult.

## Hex of Eternality

This hex is a powerful one: in terms of the cost to use the hex, it is also the most expensive. it grants partial control over time and eternality, enhancing the strength and abilities of the hexed one. a flame post hex can burn eternally, but those who use it will slowly lose their divinity, and if they have no divinity, they will begin to drain their own life force.

## The Binding of the Lost

The binding of the Lost is a curse that allows the user to save others. It is a curse, but not in the traditional sense: it is a curse that allows the user to burn away the souls of the lost and broken of the world, using them as fuel to amplify one's powers. Though some would consider this cruel, it is the furthest thing from it: the lost are sad and wandering souls, unable to rest properly in the real world, and so forever stuck wandering in a haze. In exchange however, each soul you burn, you inherit their memories and emotions. People who suffer the Binding are people who are tragically heroic, often becoming one of the lost themselves.
