The Curse (Ah-Mee-Rah)
The only Phral ability that is evil in nature, meant to cause harm (opposite to the healer). Because curses are personal, the Phral must have an item belonging to the intended person. A lock of hair, a piece of clothing, etc., and are specific to one attribute or body part. For example, makes a person clumsy or distracted, or causes them pain in one leg so they are unable to walk properly. Note: If the curse or hex is created at someone else’s behest and it fails, then the effects of the curse will fall on the one who requested it.
Amira is often thought of as the darkest of Phral Magics as in many incidences it is used as a form of revenge. Hexes can be used in different ways. Your phral doesn't have to be dark to be an Amira.

What does it do?

Powdered bone, enough to make a circle
Oak ash, enough to make a circle
4 Black candles
1 shallow clay bowl
A lock of hair or personal item belonging to the target

5. Place a black candle at each cardinal direction within the circle, and using your spark, light them from inside, clockwise, starting at the south point.
6. Using your spark set the items in the clay bowl to smolder and smoke.
7. Stand at the center of the circle and chant the incantation (see below) while visualizing the target limping with every step. Continue chanting and visualizing until the flames grow in the bowl and all that’s left is the iron nail and ashes.
8. Move the clay bowl aside a bit and dig a small hole in the center of the circle. Place the clay bowl inside the hole, smash the clay bowl, and bury it and all its contents, while chanting “So mote it be”
9. Put out the candles, counterclockwise, starting at the east, and ending at the south, picking them up and dissipating the circle as you go.

*Let this curse upon [Target's Name] seep,*
*With each step, let pain arise,*
*A limp to bind, a shadow's guise."*
Limits:
If Amira is your base ability, and you are well-practiced, the flames should come by the third repeat of the incantation and completely burn out by the next two (5 repeats total)

OOC: Remember that the target must consent for the curse to work, and you must discuss and agree upon the effects and duration. A player not consenting doesn’t make you less powerful, sometimes things don’t work.
