Curses

This article is about spells that affect an opponent's stats. For the Zaros prayers, see Ancient Curses.

A curse spell is any spell that causes a negative effect to its target other than damage. Curses are an underused part of Magic, mainly because spellcasters have little time to waste on casting non-combat spells. In prolonged fights, using a curse spell or two at the beginning may be a very good idea. Curses also are useful when competing for a monster respawn, as the curse immediately engages the monster. Curse spells can only be used once for a short period of time for most opponents; unless the curse 'splashes' and does not affect the opponent. Like most combat spells, curses make it easier to defeat Melee but not as much rangers or other mages because all three Melee skills can be decreased by curses and Defence is the only skill that can be decreased for rangers and mages.
