Curse Weaver

Follower of the Katydid

Ocultana · Oracle of Darkness · Shadow

Choose the Curse Weaver, follower of the Katydid, for mastery over insidious magic. These practitioners of dark arts excel at stacking curses on their enemies, gradually wearing them down through a combination of damage, debuffs, and resource denial.

Curse Weavers blend offensive magic with subtle utility, using sound manipulation and short flights to outmaneuver foes. If you enjoy methodically dismantling your enemies' defenses, the Curse Weaver might be your perfect match.

Curse Weaver Skills

Wielder of fetishes

"No that type of fetish!"

Early Access! These skills are purposely vague because I'm purposely lazy. Or... (and?) because I need the flexibility to change skills if the story calls for it. Take what's here with a grain of salt. I would sooner break continuity with this here fine website than make the story worse.
