Curse Research.

More than a few of the riftfarers have arrived in this world with a curse from their own affecting them. If you are one of them, it is requested that you respond with the effects of the curse and how 'detrimental' it is to your daily routine. Your name for further questions and research is also requested. Reply with a 'private filter' if desired.

Aid in Removing the Effects of a Curse

Those among you whom are skilled at destruction are asked to respond to this privately to determine if your skills and power is likely to be effective in destroying a specific manifestation of a curse that effects a riftfarer and was brought with them into this world.

[Rem. Rem. Ah, if only she knew that part of the research was to help her and others like her - others he'd become friends with. To rid them of the ills that followed them from their world to this one. His was the priority, but it was not the only curse, illness, or metaphorical chain he wanted to see destroyed.]

Your well wishes will be conveyed to the parties involved. Have you any knowledge on curses, their physical manifestations, or ways to remove them to add to any future research on this topic?

Sorry, I don’t. Compared to the curses I’ve heard from people of different worlds, there’s nothing like that in my world. I wouldn’t even know where to begin.

Do you have curses in your world?

Yes. Curses are not uncommon. Though they are usually not so stubborn as the ones that have been described by the riftfarers who have brought them with them.

[Most curses in his world he could simply shrug off or overwhelm. It was only that the specific curse he was under was both a.) that powerful and b.) that obscure and specific in it's effects]

However, this world has many more curses and magics than most have experience with. The curses are vast and varied. Many can only be allowed time to 'run it's course'. Others must be cured in a specific way, but there are means and methods to 'manage' the symptoms that fend them off in a manner that is different than the worlds the riftfarers come from. As such, there may be ways and means to manage the curses that riftarers bring with them that were not and could not be done in their worlds. If given time and effort, possibly even a manner of blocking them entirely, if a cure is not possible.

The possibility that a curse-breaking mean from another world can help someone else? That gives me so much hope for them. ( ◡‿◡ *) Not sure how I can help, though, besides giving support. The only time I’ve assisted with anything curse related was with the sleep demon some months ago, but that was less breaking a curse and more removing-the-problem.

So I have to ask, on your post you mentioned seeking those who are good at destruction. How would that help with something as metaphysical as a curse?

Some curses, or a portion of their effects, can be transfer between living beings or to objects. When bearer of the curse dies or is destroyed, it often ends the curse. A living being can be anything from a person to an unintelligent bug, to a newly grown patch of grass. An object could be a jar or a piece of jewelry or a specifically crafted box. Whether the effect can be transferred to them often depends on the curse itself. A curse that starts in the leg may be difficult to transfer to something without legs.

Some curses cannot be transferred, of course. But if a means of separating the curse from the curse bearer can be achieved, then it may be possible to limit the curses' effect on them through distance or lack of contact. And it may also be possible to end the curse entirely through a ritual to remove it, killing the new bearer, or destroying that which the curse has been attached to. Any backlash from such attempts would largely reflect back on the being or object that holds the curse in a physical manner, so there would be further protections against the original bearer being harmed for their attempts to remove or end it.

[ "backlash"-- ]

How extreme would this risk be? I'm sure those who are cursed would want it gone, but they would also have to consider the risk worth taking.

For the one currently attempting to be destroyed, the risk has been deemed acceptable within certain limits. Particularly in what manner of destructive abilities are used in the attempted. Any future experiments in this same direction will be done with the permission of those who volunteer for the experiments and testing.

[If he managed to remove his emotions, he would not have a personal stake in how risking such experiments may be. But he would still be able to weigh the pros and cons of pushing against those limits and if it was a worthwhile risk to take. And without emotions, he would not care if someone decided to take such a risk. He wouldn't care if it was never taken. It would simply be something to do to pass the time while he worked on finding ways to end his own curse without risking his life in the process.]

If what you say is possible, giving them the option at all would mean the world. I hope it goes well for whomever you're trying to help. If it's not too presumptuous, let them know I'm thinking of them, as well as wishing for their pain to end.

And if, one day, they can stand beneath the sun without a curse weighing on them, I hope to see them smile with the freedom it brings.
