The Curse tradition originated in ancient faerie magic that has since been corrupted.

Though it is possible for some users of the tradition to use its spells for good, such as by punishing evildoers or meting out justice, most students of the tradition exult in the power it offers and the misery it creates. As a result, nearly all who deal in Curse magic are as vile as the spells themselves, outsiders living on the fringes of settlements or alone in the wilderness.

Creatures cursed by Curse spells can remove the effect by using any method that would end a spell or magical effect. Also, a caster can always lift a curse that the caster placed on a creature he or she can see and that is within medium range by using an action to do so.
