[WP]: You hate this one guy in particular. You also know witchcraft. So you cast a curse to slowly destroy the thing he loves the most. As time passes on, you find that nothing has changed, but you are starting to get sick. | The old ones had banished the practice of malevolent spells centuries ago, so a curse of this nature was a rare find indeed.
