[RP] possible curses/hexes

"Don't be fooled by the name. Curses are a kind of magic that gives life to dreams." -Tharja

If you don't see a curse you want on this list, let me know what it is and I'll tell you if it's something Henry can do.

I'm going to divide this list into two parts: the first being curses any dark mage performed or mentioned in FE:A's canon, and the second being a list filled with some ideas to get you started if you're just entertaining the idea of a curse but you don't know what you want for your character(s).

OTHER ABILITIES
- Henry can perform divination, the act of seeing into the future. How accurate are his sights? You'll have to ask him, but according to FE:A, they seem reliable. They haven't failed in-canon at all. By relaying information from a divination the future can be changed, and this is also demonstrated in canon (during the Drama CD II). THIS IS ANOTHER SERVICE HE CAN OFFER but your character might have to learn that somehow about him. It's not common knowledge, but if your character has any knowledge of sorcery/dark mages from Plegia, they might know that they can perform divination.

- Henry can also allow your character to speak to a dead loved one. It takes "a lot of work, and a LOT of preparation" to do. It's still a tiresome process for a dark mage to do. But it's there.
