Help : Spell Curse

If you are new here, you may want to download one of many MUD clients, and see our getting started guide.

(such as "spell" or "MUD Basics") 

   When cast on a <victim> who fails his save against spells, the curse
inflicts a minor attack and spell save penalty proportional to the level
of the spell.  These effects last for 60 mud hours.

   A cursed object cannot be removed once worn and if the object is armor
or a weapon, it is less effective thereafter.

   The Remove Curse spell can be used to reverse the effects of a Curse
spell, but only with limited success.

   Effect - Object
      Weapon: Reduces damage by 1 die size
      Armor: Reduced armor class by 1 die

      All: Requires remove curse to remove.

   Duration - Object
      Indefinite

   Effect - Person
      Attack: -(level / 2)
      Save Magic: -(level / 3)

   Duration
      60 hours

   Example - Object
      Weapon - 3d6
         Effect: 3d5

      Armor - 6*1
         Effect: 5*1

   Example - Person
      Level 10:
         Effect: 
            Attack: -5 attack
            Save Magic: -3 = -12%

         Duration: 60 hours
