Curse Element

For the longest time, this Element was placed as a forbidden or banned magic (Not to be confused with Forbidden Curse) mainly because of how evil this magic can be. Curse Element often causes direct damage to a person's soul. Without control, this Element can cause irreparable damage to its victims that persist through death and possibly all eternity. As result laws are stricter on the use of Curse Magic, especially when used against a person. For example, if a Curse Mage were even seen by witness to use Curse in a way that can destroy a person's soul, they can be arrested and sentenced to death without question or if a person killed the Curse Element Mage in cold blood but with enough evidence showing that the Curse Mage was using Curse magic in ways that it can destroy a person's soul, the killer can be released without facing any punishment at all. The reason for this is that there is no known defense against magic that attacks the soul directly.

Unlike other elements, the mages of this element must provide magic stamina continuously to their curses while they are active, even if they have a target but aren't doing any damage to the soul. If the mages lose their concentration while a curse is in effect, the magic will be canceled out immediately.

The power of the curses released by this element is, like mind and void, dependent on the Spiritual Attainment level of the mage.

## NOVICE TIER: MIST OF FEAR:

## HIGH TIER: DEMON PUNISHMENT

A long steady duration of curse power is necessary to ensure the attack reaches the opponent.

* Level 1: Demon Punishment (鬼刑) (summons a demon that will attack a target's soul and then attempt to quarter break said target's soul, the higher Tier target such as Commander the lesser effect it has)
* Level 2: Demon Punishment - Heart's Break (鬼刑·心之碎) (summons demon that attacks to a single target to shatter the soul)
* Level 3: Demon Punishment - Hateful Ghost of Vengeance (鬼刑·仇目鬼煞) (creates a ghost demon that attacks the soul of a target, but if another being were to interrupt this ghost, another would be immediately summoned and that being would be the target.)

## SUPER TIER CURSE MAGIC

These are manifested curses that need preparation time, incantations and energy, but the damage result is very high and near fatal.

* Level 1: Shura Extinguish (修罗泯灭)
* Unknown Level: Reaper slashes (a target is enveloped in a field where thousands of reaper blades attack a being's body and soul)

## FORBIDDEN CURSE

* Life Curse (生命诅咒) (A long preparing, but heaven defying curse that curses the target's life itself and manipulates all (soul & body) connected to it as the mage desires)
