Curse
A Curse is a solemn utterance intended to invoke evil or harm upon someone or something. It can manifest as a spoken word, a written inscription, or even a ritual. The intent is to inflict suffering, misfortune, or destruction, often through supernatural means or by invoking a higher power. Curses can range from minor inconveniences to severe tragedies, and their perceived power varies across cultures and belief systems. They are frequently associated with anger, hatred, revenge, or despair, and are a potent expression of negative emotion. They also serve a purpose of revenge, or social control.
