What are curses?

Curses are physical and mental changes inflicted onto a person. These curses can take on a variety on forms. Despite the connotation of the word, not all these curses are necessarily bad. In fact, a vast majority of curses are actually quite mundane. For more information, I reccomend checking out an adventurer's guide.

To help the world better understand curses, I have written down every single curse I have come across. Although I cannot say that I've witnessed all of these curses firsthand, each entry's information comes from a person I trust greatly. Where applicable, I've also written down ways to deal with each curse. If you are ever in need of assistance, you can contact me through my ID!

Please enjoy my findings!

Gravity Intolerance

👇

Also known as:

Astronaught Syndrome

Danger level:

medium

Inflicted through:

injestion, the activation of runes

Description:

Spaghettification is a physical curse that causes the victim's bodt to ignore gravity to a certain degree. Depending on the strength of the potion, the victim may find themselves unable to keep their feet on the ground at all. In cases like these, it is EXTREMELY important to secure the victim. Fortunately, in most cases, the victim will only feel "lighter" than usual.

Cures/ Solutions:

In the case that one doesn't have access to a professional, one can fill their clothes with rocks or heavy objects to return to "normal" weight.

Spaghettification

👇

Also known as:

Noodle arms/legs, "a one way trip to becoming a basketball star (???)"

Danger level:

low

Inflicted through:

injestion

Description:

Spaghettification is a physical curse that causes the victims limbs to lengthen to unusable proportions. In most varieties of this curse, this process is painless. Although, some victims have complained about "feeling weird" during and after the process.

Cures/ Solutions:

Since this "curse" is often store bought for pranks, it will actually wear off on it's own. However, if you don't have time to waste, one can squeeze the elongated limbs until they return to normal.

My list of poisons and venoms

Ah, this is my speciality! In this section, I'll go through the various poisons and venoms that can be found in nature! A good chunk of these are easy to cure, as they are more physical in nature than a curse. However, getting the materials to make a cure can be a bit difficult. As always, feel free to contact me or your nearest medical center. Both should be equipped with a variety of medicines.

Minerva's Venom

👇

Also known as:

Purple snake venom

Description

Minerva's venom is considered one of themost deadly in the world.

The art of manipulating one's body

This section will likely be one of the largest ones in my book! There is a large variety of potions and runes out there. Many cultures have their own spins on ones with similar effects. I find it fascinating how different ingredients can come together to make similar effects. Potions and runes can have either negative or positive effects, depeding on what the craftsman wants. In this section, I'll give a basic summary on the most common types of potions. Since my expertise lies in poison, I'll mainly be listing potions and runes with effects similar to poison. If you want a more thorough analysis on potions, I recommend going through the work of my collegue Merlot.

My personal thoughts

Although I'm not sure why you would want to read this, this section is dedicated to my personal findings. Think of it as my diary!

September 21 XXX1

Today I got to see the fruits of my labor. Maxwell showed me the device that will revolutionize the way we hunt and gather mana. I cannot stand the sight of it. I couldn't stop myself from crushing the infernal device under my boot. I could feel my hair stand up from the charging static, but I din't mind it. For everything that I have done, I deserved the pain that would soon follow.

September 20 XXX1

Today we have a very interesting patient in our care. A man by the name of Indigo Morada. He looks quite foolish, if you ask me. He is short and thin for a man, but that's quite common for those originating from Desliza. The man is seemingly suffering from some kind curse that affects his mental state. He is always crying and screaming. He pleads to the gods to help him down the right path, but he does nothing to get himself on that path. How pathetic.

Septemver 14 XXX1

Today we are working with a funny little speciimen. It is a BIG pruploe snake! One tghart us jbiwb as Mibnerva. What a calcutlating little baby reptile she is! Maxwell is here with me, makung sure that I peform the b experimtns properly. First i take the purpke venom and put it in s syrine. Oh wait, no. That us her gandm , not mien. Them we put the syrine into MY arm. Stick it in a gein for best results!

It burns.

July 24 XXX1

I find it incredibly odd that I have yet to run into my dearest Chiono once. Maxwell says that it is nothing to worry about, but I cannot help but feel concerned. It has been so long since I have seen her.

July 14 XXX1

Today I had met up with Maxwell to learn more about my new tasks. I had also asked where Chiono was within the school. She didn't seem too eager to answer my questions. But then again, when is she ever?

July 1 XXX1

Today I began working with my new partner, Maxwell. I find it extremely fascinating that this woman is actually a cherub. It is unheard of them growing past three feet, and yet, Maxwell is the size of an adult woman. I'm sure that this facility will connect me to many interesting faces, haha!

I pitched her my idea of creating a program to help harvestmen deal with areas far too saturated with magic. Although I cannot begin to fathom the technology necessary to make such a program, it seems that Maxwell believes that such a thing is possible. I believe this is the start of something beautiful!

June 30 XXX1

I am so excited to start working! Perhaps the gods have decided to finally show me some mercy, as I had found out my dearest Chiono had been enrolled into this school! I was quite sure that her "setbacks" would bar her from being accepted. I wonder if she would take my classes.

June 25 XXX1

Today I begin making my new office within the Grandier Saint Academy facility! The office is nowehere near as large as mine at home, which suprised me. Surely one of the most prestigious schools in the world could afford the luxury held within Braxio? I hadn't realized how rich her majesty was, hah! Still, I am excited for this journey!

June 1 XXX1

Today I was given a very interesting offer, one that I think I will take! The good harvestmen at Grandier's Saint Academy want to hire me to be not only a professor, but an on campus curse practioner! I am so honered for my work to be acknowledged in this way. How could I say no?

September 11 XXX9

She doesn't talk to me anymore. Even if I visit her room, she doesn't even look at me. I think it is time that I move on.

January 15 XXX6

I had been fumbling with my tie, and Chiono was staring at me as I was doing so. So I called her over to help me.

She had frozen, her eyes widening and her expression became foreign to me. I believe I could see her facial muscles strain to keep the somewhat neutral expression, but I knew my daughter well enough to see something was off. After a small sigh, she came over to help me. "Have you never done this before, father?" She mumbled, mostly towards herself. Still, I answered no.

I think that was about the time she realized how different our worlds were. Since then, her gaze upon me has been nothing but cold.

August 21 XXX1

Today I had gone back to Desliza to check on a few things. Not much has changed, to be honest. The people are still afraid of the "harvestmen" who have set their posts all around. I dealt with some of the people who were willing to talk to me. There weren't any difficult curses to crack today, and I managed to score a free dinner from a harvestman. It was bland.

July 16 XXX1

Ahhh, I cannot believe how fast time flies! Today I get to celebrate my birthday with the ever elusive Avariel. He was a bit too happy to get drunk around me, as usual. But I suppose that's just what happens when that man gets free drinks.

July 13 XXX1

Today I went home to visit my daughter. She has definitely grown into a lovely young girl, to say the least. She doesn't speak unless spoken to, but I do see her occasionly glance in my direction from time to time. She's awfully busy though, darting around the fortress's halls. Do you think I can get her to stop for a moment, if only to apologize?

May 14 XXX1

Today I found one of the most vivid flowers that I have seen in a while. It's petals were such a gorgeous shade of orange. It reminded me of the sunset! Speaking of, I believe the flower's colors are dimming with the setting Sun. How fascinating!

April 26 XXX1

Today I have discovered something truly special! There is this fruit that has been tied to opening the eyes of those who have yet to gain the ability to see magic. I wonder if my daughter would like to try this. She's been so down when I go to visit her lately. I won't tell her what exactly the fruit is, lest I get her hopes up. But imagine if it works?

The fruit is quite small, even at it's largest circumfrence. I can balance the green orb quite easily on a single finger. They have an overpowering sweet taste, but I believe I can hide it within a pastry. I'll pick a few of these, just in case.

September 3 XXX9

Today I went to visit my dearest Chiono. It has been quite a while, so her eyes had lit up. Though, I think she was more excited by the cake and toys I gave her, rather than my actual presence HAH. As for her "training," I believe that she's picking it up quite well. Normally, she'd squeal and squeeze my waist. But this time, she only smiled while greeting me.

Oh dear, PLEASE hug me in the way you always do!

September 30 XXX6

I don't deserve this. What did I do to deserve this? I feel like a monster. I can't even concentrate on my current project. All I can think about is her. I think of the way my daughter speaks. It isn't natural. She's only a little girl. And instead of doing anything about it, I'm in this damned lab. Do I even deserve to call myself her father?

August 25 XXX6

Today I got to see the station that I sold my daughter's life for. I must say, her majesty did not skimp on the budget. She had equipped me with multitple grade S mana stones, as well as advanced equipment I have only dreamed of using. I spent the day putting pictures of Chiono on my desk and the walls. I will begin working again once more, so our sacrifies aren't in vain.

January 19 XXX5

I had left the fortress today to buy my dearest a new toy. She doesn't have a lot of these, you see. But when I tried to give it to her, she refused to look in my direction. She was mumbling in the corner of her room, shivering. I had tried picking her up, but she immediately started tearing up. I wish I understood what she was saying. But from what I could make up, her majesty had something to do with it. Oh, how I yearn to take my sweet girl far away from this place!

December 21 XXX4

My Chiono had started her lessons. Oh, how eager she was to show me what she had been up to! She didn't even realize it was her birthday! While I was trying to serve her cake, she kept glaring at me and saying something I couldn't understand. Her majesty informed me that she was trying to say "pathetic." EXCUSE ME?

December 21 XXX3

Today my sweet girl turns one! Oh, how the time flies. I had begged the Monarch to allow me to bring a cake in to celebrate. To my suprise, we all indulged in a delicious blueberry cake. I had never thought Her Majesty engaged in such indulgence. Admittedly, she only had a single spoonful before returning to work. Perhaps seeing Chiono's face covered in icing ruined her appetite?

September 22 XXX3

Today I was allowed to take Chiono outside of the fortress walls. She quite enjoyed sticking out her tongue to catch snowflakes. Oh, how frigid this cursed island is! It's snowing in summer for crying out loud!

February 12 XXX3

The curse is gone, but some scars remain. I think I will be okay.

January 20 XXX3

How much longer must I be trapped like this? Her majesty insists that I feed Chiono the natural way for at least a few more weeks. But I do not think that I can last that long. I have never felt so disgusted with myself as I have these past few months. My only comfort remains to be her.

January 16 XXX3

I was told that I would have to be monitored more closely when I am with Chiono. Unfortunately for me, I am with my Dearest always. Within these freezing halls, my little one is always crying for warmth. With the way her majesty glares, I am afraid to let Chiono cry for too long, lest her majesty will try to silence her.

January 2 XXX3

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

January 1 XXX3

It's like a leech, isn't it?

December 31 XXX2

Whenever I feel my blood pressure rising, I simply pick up my dearest. She is still silent, but her soft body gives me respite from my own cursed form. I knew that I had to feed her. But I cannot stand this feeling.

December 21 XXX2

These last few weeks have been hell for me. But the fruit of my labor is finally here. I finally get to see my dearest "Glory of the Snow." Bah. As if to console me, her majesty said I can refer to her as "Chiono" for short. I am so glad to finally meet you, my dear.

July 6 XXX2

I want to scream. I want to vomit.

About me

Although I hope that this information won't be necessary during your travels, I think it's important to be well informed. I wrote these pages in an attempt to better inform the general public. Although some curses can be very scary, we don't need to kill every abject human out there.

If you'd like to learn more about me specifically, might I suggest checking my profile?
