Has your deity forsaken you? Is an object stuck to you and refusing to be
removed (for example - You can't remove a heavy iron chain.)?
Well, you might be cursed!!!
1. What happens when a player is cursed?
A cursed player is often likely to notice they are cursed when they attempt
to recall or use the home command, only to find their deity has temporarily
forsaken them (typing 'affects' will show how long this affect will last).
Additionally, a successful curse on a mob or player will cause temporary
penalties to their attack or damage and reduced resistance to
magical effects.
2. What happens when an object is cursed?
Items can also be cursed. Some items come cursed by default (often found on
mobs or in rooms). These items will have the 'nodrop' and 'noremove' flags,
making them unremovable and undroppable until the curse is removed.
3. What do I do about a curse?
Both of these affects may be removed by either the 'remove curse' spell (if
you have it) or by using 'heal curse' (or 'heal uncurse') at a healer -
use 'runto healer' from anywhere in the Grand City of Aylor to find the
healer in the Aylorian Temple. See 'help heal' for more details.
(Sorcerers' curse spells do not use the same effect.)
