Curses (呪詛) are a form of combat that is similar to magic.

Information[]

Unlike magic, curses are primarily used to hinder an opponent, such as confusing, binding, or sharing pain with an opponent, though like magic they are cast through a chant. All curses require a cost from the user in exchange for their power, which is a key point in differentiating between magic and curses.

The effects of curses can only be prevented or treated by using certain magic items created specifically to combat them, such as Fels' cloak, and cannot be prevented by the development ability Abnormal Resistance. This is shown by Finn's injury that he received from Revis' cursed sword, which wouldn't stop bleeding even after they tried freezing the wound.

Curses can also be crafted into weapons known as curse weapons (呪道具(カースウェポン)) by hexers (呪術師(ヘクサー)). Like regular curses, damage dealt by them will require items or magic to get rid of them. All curse weapons have a negative side-effect that they inflict upon their users whenever they pour their magic into the weapon or cut someone with it. The side-effects vary by weapon, but some of them can be temporarily lowering the user's status or draining the user's mind or stamina, among other side-effects. The only known hexer so far is Barca Perdix.
