Curse Element

For the longest time, this Element was placed as a forbidden or banned magic (Not to be confused with Forbidden Curse) mainly because of how evil this magic can be. Curse Element often causes direct damage to a person's soul. Without control, this Element can cause irreparable damage to its victims that persist through death and possibly all eternity. As result laws are stricter on the use of Curse Magic, especially when used against a person. For example, if a Curse Mage were even seen by witness to use Curse in a way that can destroy a person's soul, they can be arrested and sentenced to death without question or if a person killed the Curse Element Mage in cold blood but with enough evidence showing that the Curse Mage was using Curse magic in ways that it can destroy a person's soul, the killer can be released without facing any punishment at all. The reason for this is that there is no known defense against magic that attacks the soul directly.

Unlike other elements, the mages of this element must provide magic stamina continuously to their curses while they are active, even if they have a target but aren't doing any damage to the soul. If the mages lose their concentration while a curse is in effect, the magic will be canceled out immediately.

The power of the curses released by this element is, like mind and void, dependent on the Spiritual Attainment level of the mage.
