Effect	With a gesture, the caster inflicts a terrible curse on a target. Only one type of curse may be applied to any one target; casting a new curse will end the effect of any prior curse. This spell may be cast in the following ways: Curse of Fear - A single target failing a Magic Resistance roll is Shaken for Rank x 2 rounds. If the target is already under the influence of a Fear effect it increases by 1 level. (Shaken to Frightened, Frightened to Panicked) Curse of Agony - A single target failing a Magic Resistance roll is overwhelmed with physical pain causing a penalty to all skill rolls. The round the curse is applied the penalty is -6. Each round after the curse is applied the penalties are reduced by 2 until they reach 0 at which time the spell ends. The spell may not be recast on a target already suffering from Curse of Agony. Curse of Agony does not inflict actual damage to the target. If pushed for duration Curse of Agony gains additional rounds at its lowest penalty before expiring. Curse of Ecstasy - A single target failing a Magic Resistance roll is flooded with intense pleasure. The target is reduced to half base speed (rounded down) and suffers a Rank penalty to Dodge for 3 rounds. If the target takes damage the curse ends immediately.
