-	~~General information about~~ the ~~Realm~~	+	Curse Magic can create a wide variety of effects on enemy targets, but cannot be used on friends, allies and relatives without in-character justification. Justification can come in the form of a Flaw, or an action perpetrated by the target on the character, that would lead the character to wish to cast harmful or otherwise unpleasant magic on the target.
		+
		+	The GM must be lenient here, and willing to accept almost any kind of in-character justification, except that of "none".

		+	The requirment of in-character justification is a necessary one, as some Curse effects, especially barrenness, can be desirable for some characters, and/or for some players. For instance, the Ärth setting character Asbrand the Stuttering could have just asked his friend and mentor, Fionn Mac Dougal, to curse him with permanent sterility, in order to alleviate Asbrand's morbid fear of passing on his disability in a more concentrated form. Fionn Mac Dougal would obviously have been willing to do that, paying a small amount of Essence to help his friend.
		+
		+	Except there's no in-character justification of anger, wrath or resentment, nor even a wish to make Asbrand fear Fionn, or make him respect Fionn more than he already does. And you don't go around sterilizing people just because they ask for it. Hence Asbrand instead had to jump through all kinds of hoops to get another NPC to cast the Curse on him, including the risk that she'd make him ''Impotent'' intead of Sterile!
		+
		+	That's the real purpose of the justification requirement. To increase the probability of interesting conflicts emerging.
		+
		+	Other averted uses can also be imagined, such as temporary Blindness on all ally who needs to fight a monster with a petrifying gaze, e.g. a Gorgon. But you just don't do that. You do not Curse your friends. It's not normal. It is not within the scope of choices available to the norman Human psyche. You do ''not'' Curse your friends!
