The Compendium of Curses and How They Have Been Combated is the result of an exhaustive research effort that took several years, involving even the participation of the Elves. It was directed and mostly written by Lucian Escribano. With this work, he earned the title of Wise, as well as numerous criticisms not only from the Guild of Scribes itself but from all parts of society. The main reason was one of the conclusions that Luciano himself made in the book: that Merlin Etherium suffered from the newly recognized Heroe's Curse, partly identified through this work.

Although the text deals with hundreds of curses, Lucian Escribano acknowledges that he invested more effort and space in his compendium on this particular curse. Until the release of this compendium, it was believed that soul curses, those that affect the spirit of individuals, were something suffered by weak beings and were uncommon.

The reality is that, according to a large collection of personal diaries, as well as internal reports from the human militias, this curse, and many others like it, affected up to 60% of the militarized population and 40% of the civilian population. Worst of all, chronological data indicated that they were contagious.

In several interviews, Lucian Escribano confessed that he doubted whether to publish the work that had cost so many years and effort from him, his team, friends, and external assistants. One of the curses, the Curse of the Invisible Enemy, seems to be triggered when the idea of an unseen threat looms, theoretically created by Pahad, the god of fear. But one of his young assistants insisted that Pahad is always defeated by action and that the humans would always overcome him. When the young assistant died in an accident, Lucian Escribano decided to publish the work in his honor.
