Curse Weaver Skills
Wielder of fetishes
"No that type of fetish!"
These skills are purposely vague because I'm purposely lazy. Or... (and?) because I need the flexibility to change skills if the story calls for it.
Take what's here with a grain of salt. I would sooner break continuity with
this here fine website than make the story worse.
