Curse
Curses are large area of effect spells that cause negative effects on enemy targets.
Curses have a limited duration, but can be refreshed simply by casting the spell again. This duration is extended infinitely by taking the Hex Master passive.
By default, enemies can have one curse active at a time. While a curse is active, casting a different curse will override it. Taking the Whispers of Doom passive allows the player to give enemies up to two different curses at once.
