CURSE
CURSE
Syntax: cast 'curse' <character>
This spell reduces the character's to-hit roll and save versus spells.
It also renders the character unclean in the eyes of the Gods and
unable to RECALL. Curse may be used to fill equipment with evil power,
allowing (for example) weapons to do more damage to particularly holy
opponents.
