There are no official records regarding CURSED. All information is from first hand accounts of surviving students.
History
Children from prominent wizarding families were volunteered at the age of 6 to become master evocation practitioners and soldiers for impending war. Their families were paid out significantly, and promised land and entitlements upon completion of their instruction.
Each student was assigned an instructor that was an expert in their craft. These instructors were to stay with the students at all times. The students ate, were instructed by, slept near, interacted with, and physically trained with their instructors in order to create an inseparable bond that would be rapidly advance their learning. The students and instructors stayed in Theramore Manor. It served as their living quarters, educational facility, and practice grounds.
The students were put through a rigorous education designed to train wizards physically but also focused on building up the student’s speciality evocation type: Fire, Water, Lightning, Frost, Stone, Force, Poison, or Healing.
The students were subject to 12 school hours a day as a group or privately with their instructors, followed by 4 to 6 hours of individual study. This was then followed by integration time designed to encourage practice and growth while developing a sense of competitiveness between students. The first 12 years were spent developing basic and intermediate applications of spells, along with strategy, theory, physical upkeep and “casual skirmishing exercises” between students.
At the age of twelve, students were given the runic inscriptions. Different yet similar for each child, varying based on their evocation specialty. After initial application, the inscriptions worked without any pain and their training was pushed further to try to improve metrics.
After the age of 18, the students began to participate in “field exercises” in order to teach them to work cooperatively, both with each other and soldiers. It was a practical application of how to complement larger battle plans and maneuver in a war field.
First signs of the “Runic Feedback” start to manifest at age 20. The feedback symptoms varied by student. Most feel pain, but some experience headaches, itching, insomnia, temporary madness, and other effects. Students’ symptoms began to affect their focus and work.

Disbandment
In 385 P.A. a poorly executed mission to Grenzlinie led to the destruction of an entire town. Rackett ordered a clean sweep of the grounds and the elimination of the students. The students fought back against the soldiers sent to disable the program and their instructors fought to protect them. The purging of Theramore resulted in the death of many; students, instructors, and soldiers alike.
