Tradition can be a powerful force that shapes societies and cultures. It provides a sense of continuity and identity, and can foster a strong sense of community. However, tradition can also be a curse, stifling progress and preventing innovation. This is especially true when tradition becomes an elemental force, guiding every aspect of life and resisting change. When tradition becomes an elemental force, it can become deeply embedded in the fabric of society. It dictates how people should behave, what they should believe, and how they should interact with one another.
At 10th level, you add the elemental bane spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. You always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

The Curse as a Structural Element of Various Folklore Genres
Summary/Abstract: In many of the folklore genres the curse is used as an idiom, because of the magic power of its words. In most cases through the curse the Lord, the demons of fate, or, the forces of nature, are called to intervene. The curse is used with equal frequency both in the genres of appellation and of narration. More specifically, it takes part in the incantations, laments, blessings, praises, reproaches, in combination with other curses, in folk-songs, tales and legends. Special attention is paid to the subordination between magic knowledge and the curse, magic art and the curse, historicity and the curse, which is to be observed in the narrative genres. In the polygeneric texts a bigger number of structural elements take part. They lose at that their characteristic features as separate genres and become polysemantic in the textual and contextual relationships. The great variety of curses, as well as their various uses in folklore, lead to their study in the genre system of oral tradition and reveal perspectives for more detailed general or specific studies of the regular transformations.

Instead, they are blindly followed without question or scrutiny. This can lead to the perpetuation of harmful practices and beliefs, such as discrimination, prejudice, and inequality. Furthermore, the curse of the elemental tradition is that it stifles innovation and progress. It discourages individuals from challenging the status quo or exploring new ideas. This can be seen in the resistance to scientific advancements, the rejection of technological innovations, and the fear of change. The curse of the elemental tradition is not limited to specific cultures or societies. It can be found in various forms and manifestations around the world. In some cases, it is rooted in ancient customs and rituals that have been passed down from generation to generation. In others, it is perpetuated by political, religious, or social institutions that capitalize on the fear of change. Breaking free from the curse of the elemental tradition requires a willingness to challenge and question long-held beliefs and practices. It requires individuals to think critically and independently, and to be open to new ideas and perspectives. It also requires a collective effort to dismantle the systems and structures that uphold and perpetuate these traditions. While tradition can provide a sense of comfort and stability, it is important to recognize when it becomes a curse. By acknowledging and challenging the elemental force of tradition, societies can move towards a more inclusive, progressive, and equitable future..
