The writing is typically a couplet or a quatrain that warns of the consequences of disturbing your property. The curse is triggered by an action or actions that you specify (which typically involves someone reading the book without permission, trying to damage the book, or trying to steal it). When the curse is triggered, the creature that did so must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or suffer its effect. You can choose one of the effects described in the [blocklink:1532770] spell, or you can affect the target in one of the following ways:\r\n[ul]\r\n[li]While the target is cursed, it is [tooltip:While you have the Blinded condition, you experience the following effects: Can\u2019t See (You can\u2019t see and automatically fail any ability check that requires sight.), Attacks Affected (Attack rolls against you have Advantage, and your attack rolls have Disadvantage.)]blinded[\/tooltip].[\/li]\r\n[li]Beasts are unusually hostile to the target while it is cursed; they gain advantage on attack rolls against the target.[\/li]\r\n[li]While cursed, the target is an attractive mark to pickpockets and other thieves, and such individuals will try to steal the target\u2019s valuables when the opportunity presents itself. (Even if in the target\u2019s possession, the cursed book does not count as one of the target\u2019s valuables.)[\/li]\r\n[li]A cursed target that either receives magical healing or rolls Hit Dice to recover hit points after a long rest must roll twice and use the lower result.[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\nA [blocklink:1532806] spell ends this effect. You can also stipulate other actions taken by the target that would nullify the curse (returning the book after it is stolen, for example).","source":"Deep Magic Volume 1","tags":"","templateId":"3000","blockId":"1557890","world":"f23bfee1-fef1-458a-9e5d-7b8dc747c3db","folder":"37951","isShared":"on"}
