Curse Generator
Curses are the sharpest tool in the magic kit. A good curse turns a single moment of pride or cruelty into a whole story, hanging over a character like weather they cannot escape. This generator brews curses for fantasy novels, tabletop campaigns, dark fairy tales, and horror games. Expect family dooms, oddly specific punishments, fae bargains gone sideways, and ancient hexes whose original casters have long since died but whose magic still keeps every promise it ever made aloud.

What makes a curse memorable
Memorable curses are specific. A vague curse of bad luck fades from a reader's mind. A curse that forbids a queen from sleeping under her own roof, or that turns every kindness shown to a thief into a coin of his weight in stolen blood, sticks. The more particular the rule, the more interesting the workarounds. Specificity also makes the curse feel old, as if someone really thought it through before speaking the words.
