This bizarre treasure inflicts the user himself with what would normally be considered a negative effect. How the Curse inflicts the user can vary widely, as can its effect. When gaining the curse, you can choose one of the following effects to be inflicted. Generally, any effect which is purely negative can be used as alternative (such as losing the capacity to cast Spells). Any negative effect which isn't magical or extraordinary (such as losing a limb in an accident, or gaining a terminal illness) can be gained freely, without the use of a treasure.

Time Passed 		40 The user will find their body's age permanently altered, making them older or younger--sometimes dramatically so. While the curse does not affect the user's mind directly, he may also find an altered mentality, his personality or mindset changed accordingly with the physical state of their body. This effect can be undone by gaining this variant of the Curse again.
