A wicked curse, also known as a malevolent curse, is a supernatural event or spell that is cast with the intention of causing harm or misfortune to someone. These curses have been a part of human folklore and mythology for centuries, with various cultures having their own beliefs and practices surrounding curses. The concept of curses has often been associated with dark magic and witchcraft, and in many stories and legends, curses are cast by evil witches or sorcerers. These curses can take many forms, ranging from simple verbal curses to complex rituals involving the use of symbolic objects or special incantations. The effects of a wicked curse can be devastating, often causing physical or mental illness, bad luck, or even death. In some cases, curses are said to be passed down through generations, affecting entire families or communities.
Wrath is first introduced when Emilia performs a spell to summon a demon to help her break the dark magic that sealed Vittoria's diary. He wants Emilia to form a blood bond with him. He tells her it will alert other demons that she is a temporary member of House Wrath and thus under his protection. It will also allow him to sense when she's in danger.
The two then orchestrate a ploy so the members of House Greed won t suspect she has gone anywhere, causing a scene in the gambling room as a result of Emilia playing Wrath s possessive and angry nature. He tells her she should take a more subtle approach to gaining information in the Seven Circles, as most would expect something in return for the information they provide.
In some cases, curses are said to be passed down through generations, affecting entire families or communities. Curses can also be targeted at specific individuals, usually as a form of revenge or punishment. While curses are primarily seen as fictional or superstitious, many people throughout history have believed in their power and have taken steps to protect themselves from curses or to remove them.

There's several strategies for the portal fight, but this is what worked easiest for me.
1. Cast Sleet Storm on the left side of the area, where the enemies spawn in, it doesn't have to reach their spawn point but it should cover any ground between the point and your platform.
2. Cast Hunger of Hadar on the spawn area to the left, it will overlap Sleet Storm a but.
3. Have Shadowheart/any Cleric cast Radiant Spirit Guardians and chill on the platform.ll
4. Cast Darkness on the ground in front of the platform and have Wyll stand in it. Wyll should have Devil's Sight and the Sentinel feat as a Pact of the Blade Warlock. If Wyll is casting Hunger of Hadar, have your 4th member cast Darkness or use a Scroll so that Wyll can maintain concentration on Hunger of Hadar.
The adds from the left will virtually never reach the platform because they'll keep falling on the ice and being slowed by Hunger of Hadar. Your party stays on the platform, minus Wyll, and picks off the enemies with ranged cantrips and ranged weapons, don't bother casting Fireball or anything, you need to maintain concentration on the above area spells. If Wyll has Sentinel, any enemies who enter Darkness will get hit with opportunity attacks and be unable to move. The only enemies that may reach the platform are the crows and the creeper vines and Spirit Guardians will destroy them quickly.
Remember you don't need to kill all the enemies, only last 4 rounds, which is very easy to do with this strategy as you near completely lock down the field. It's even worth respeccing some characters to accomplish this as you get tons of item drops to sell and make back your gold after the fight is over.
Infinite deception with a side of revenge… Welcome to Hell.

In conclusion, wicked curses are a widespread concept in human culture, deeply rooted in folklore and mythology. While the belief in curses may vary among individuals and cultures, their power to instill fear and cause harm continues to captivate our imaginations..
Reviews for "From Witches to Wiki: The Path of the Wicked Curse"
1. John - 2 stars - The plot of "Wicked Curse" was incredibly underdeveloped and lacked depth. I felt like the story jumped from one event to another without giving any proper explanation or resolution to various conflicts. Additionally, the characters felt flat and one-dimensional, making it difficult to connect with them on an emotional level. Overall, I was disappointed with this book as it failed to deliver a compelling and cohesive narrative.
2. Emily - 2.5 stars - "Wicked Curse" had an interesting premise, but the execution fell flat for me. The writing style was choppy and inconsistent, making it hard to stay engaged in the story. The pacing was also off, with certain parts feeling rushed while others dragged on unnecessarily. Moreover, I found the dialogue to be cliché and lacked authenticity. Overall, the potential was there, but the execution left much to be desired.
