'''Curses''' (呪い) are hexes that afflict the target with a wide variety of potent effects. Some curses are permanently set upon certain items as well: see [[Cursed Equipment]] for a list. These items must be removed in a [[Church]] before the bearer can equip anything else, but the curses chanted in battle can be removed with the [[Sheen]] spell.

*Halving the maximum {{MP}} of a character for the battle.

*Forcing the character to succumb to instant death with a high probability within a random number of turns.

Note that all curses have a chance each turn of inflicting an effect similar to [[paralysis]] on the afflicted party member.

Curses can be inflicted by equipping cursed equipment ([[sword of ruin]], [[wailer's mail]], [[thanatos' shield]]) and occasionally paralyse the Builder mid sword swing. Curses can be removed from the equipment through [[List of consumables in Dragon Quest Builders 2|sheen salts]]. Additionally, for the sword of ruin specifically, changing its appearance to the [[falcon blade]] on a [[Character customization in Dragon Quest Builders 2|dressing table]] will turn the sword into an [[über falcon blade]].

~~However, if the {{Luminary}} takes him up on his offer, he~~ will ~~back down with~~ the ~~excuse that he doesn't carry that much~~ [[~~gold~~]] ~~while out treasure-hunting~~.
