Maledictions (Warhammer Horror)

Product Information

This curse does not actually increase someone’s strength; do not RP it as such. It is simply an inability to control the level of force they exert on something.

Flora: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause flora and soil to experience unnatural corruption, disrupting natural balance; only to marine life. Horror is no stranger to the dark worlds of Warhammer. Its very fabric is infested with the arcane, the strange and the downright terrifying. From the cold vastness of the 41st Millennium to the creeping evil at large in the Mortal Realms, this anthology of short stories explores the sinister side of Warhammer in a way it never has been before. Psychological torment, visceral horrors, harrowing tales of the supernatural and the nightmares buried within, this collection brings together a grim host of tales to chill the very blood... Hex : A bottled curse suspended in liquid that can be applied to food and drink. Must enter the body via ingestion or application to a wound. May also be poured on the ground to affect plants. Les malédictions interviennent dans la vie d’un individu pour le marquer définitivement et la plupart du temps pour toute la vie. Elles s’expriment par la désolation, l’insuccès, l’échec répété et divers maux. Dans le cadre d’une maladie causée par la malédiction, la science prouve ses limites. Maledictions are able to be achieved by using the Immortal Spirits and the Elemental Spirits. Many lesser spirits may be attracted to the ritual and grant their gifts should they be appeased. The practice of a ritual and chaotic call for aid invites all Spirits to aid, allowing plenty of spells to take place within the domain of the Spirit that delivers it.Fauna: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause victims to be drowsy, asleep, or suffer from sleep conditions such as insomnia, and/or have nightmares.

The pre-modern world was another story. Thieves had to deal with much more than a telling-off or a hefty fine. Some books were inscribed with maledictions, curses that laid out–often in excruciating detail–how justice would be meted out to unscrupulous borrowers. According to Dr Eleanor Baker, author of the forthcoming book Bookish Maledictions, medieval curses often involved “excommunication, hanging, hell fire, and drowning”. Thieves were essentially warned that they would pay for their crimes–not in gold–but in blood. These curses, Baker told explained, could “appear in a variety of settings, from twelfth-century wills to seventeenth-century recipe books, and late medieval commonplace books to nineteenth-century school textbooks”. Flora: Curses inflicted by this spirit may cause flora to develop oddly shaped petals, leaves, or branches that curl into artistic forms. Leaves may also develop holes, causing a tuneful screaming sound when the wind blows. Someone is traumatised by visions or their own warped mind… the work of the Ruinous Powers, perhaps?Jehovah God instituted a means by which his purpose for blessing mankind would eventually be fulfilled. He himself foretold a Seed, prophesying in Eden: “I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.” ( Genesis 3:15) God later promised that blessings would come to obedient mankind by means of this Seed, a descendant of Abraham.— Genesis 22:15-18. Fauna: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause victims to be regretful, overly cautious, slow to understand situations, and/or avoid doing tasks. Appears as a aquatic woman wielding a trident. Said to bless ships of honour in their overseas journey, whereas she is without mercy for ships that dare defy her will.
