Her physical form underwent subtle yet palpable changes. A diaphanous aura of curses enveloped her, casting an otherworldly glow that seemed to draw shadows closer. The air around her shimmered with an intangible malevolence, marking her as a harbinger of misfortune.

With each passing moment, Arpious's understanding of curses deepened. She could feel the intricate threads of fate and doom, weaving them into her magical tapestry. Her fingers, once delicate, now bore the arcane symbols of affliction, each touch capable of imparting supernatural malevolence.
