Cursed

Forgotten Realms Wiki:  https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Curse

A curse is a powerful, negative magical effect placed upon a person, place, or object.

Curses can have a wide variety of effects; but often involve weakening, injuring, or thwarting the intentions of an afflicted individual or destabilizing an afflicted item.

In general, a curse is hard to remove. Only a handful of specialized spells—such as remove curse—can hope to remove even a weak curse. A more powerful curse needs great power to remove; if it is possible to remove it at all.

Types of Curses

Spell Curses

The most fundamental curse is the one created by the spell bestow curse. Other common spell curses are: bestow greater curse, curse water, geas/quest, hex, Laeral's crowning touch, and lesser geas.

Item Curses

Any mundane or magical item can become a cursed item, and pass that curse onto individuals who possess the item. Often, this type of item is created as a trap by an individual, an accident, or the decay of time.

Family Curses

This type of curse often started as one of the other types but changed over time to affect the whole family of a cursed individual. In some rare cases, a powerful curse can be put on a whole family.

Divine Curses

This type of curse is inflicted on a person, place, or thing in accordance with a god's ethos. They are always powerful and often spectacular.  A primary example is the Curse of Mystra, which afflicts any individual who willfully copies the sigil of a mage with the intent to impersonate that mage.

Undeath

The existence of undead is sometimes considered a curse on life.

Warlock's Curses

Some warlocks have the ability to bestow minor curses onto their foes in battle, which makes the afflicted targets more vulnerable to the warlock's attacks and magics.
