The spell Curse reduces foes' efficacy in battle.
Description[edit]
The spell Curse has varying effects throughout the ages. There was a time when it would only reduce enemies' defensive capabilities, but at other times, it would also reduce their mental and offensive capabilities.
Note that this spell only targets one creature. To curse a group of enemies, Mass Curse has to be used.
