This curse taints the leylines that run through the land and sea, causing all of the Aether seeping from them to be faintly poisonous to those who would seek to use it. Though it is possible to purify it and cleanse the taint from Aether Crystals produced from it, doing so is costly and overall production rates drop considerably.
You target one Province with this ritual. You must deliver the Curse Card for this ritual to an Envoy of the Nation containing that Province or to a Veilwalker whose Enterprise is located within that Province for it to have an effect.
All Aether Vents, Congregations, and Towers based in the Province suffer -4 Levels.
Mages suffer more frequently from backlash and Mana-burn when they cast spells or perform rituals within the Province.
The effects of this ritual last until the end of the next Round of Downtime, until you remove the Curse, or until the Curse is broken, whichever comes first.
You can overcharge this ritual; by increasing the Ritual Power to 50, you can apply the curse to an entire Nation.
If this ritual is performed outside of Veilguard, its required Ritual Power is quadrupled.
