Curses are almost entirely the domain of blood magic, though they can be built into warding spells as well. And they are nearly always some degree of fatal.

Healing is anathema to my school, so I cannot help you there.

Spells can sometimes be deflected before they touch you, but once cast, it depends on the spell. Many require the same person who cast it to remove it. Some you can break from the inside, given enough time. If it not binding, another wizard may be able to dispel it.

i know blood magic. it is not always so for curses, not in the realm that i know. blood can be used in any spell, of any nature, and it's strength is upon the sacrifice given.

what if a spell has been upon a being for years?

[lord_wizard]

I know of no spell that gains power the longer it has been in place. If anything, it would be the opposite.

I lived under a binding spell for over 4 years. It can be done.

When you say you know blood magic, do you mean you practice it, or do you know the theory?

[fuga]

you know not of the spells of my realm.
how would you break such a thing?
i know blood magic from practice and learning, from books and experience.

[So she's a blood mage. But she has something of a point. His world's concept of blood magic might differ, though the thought still makes his stomach turn. He considers not answering her. He has no obligation to help, certainly. But it might help to know what it is that she's after]

True, but it you did not think that knowledge of magic from other worlds could not help you would not have asked.

Meditation, to start. Dismantling the spell from the inside, so to speak

[fuga]

i ask because i have been told it might aid me. i have no hopes nor expectations.
and if there is nothing inside to dismantle?

[lord_wizard]

There is always something.

Magic is largely about perception. It might be a matter of learning to detect the structure of the curse before you can affect it

[fuga]

how do you learn to detect a curse's structure?
