Curse of the Electric Death
A powerful curse that has only come into existence in the later part of the 20th century, it is now widely popularly and reviled. The Curse of the Electric Death renders the victim unable to use any device that is powered by electricity. Strictly speaking it is a tool of intimidation and control, unless one has a pacemaker or similar device the curse will not harm you. Keys on keyboards and phones will not work, using a stylus will not work, voice activation will not function, lights switches will not turn on or off, any functions in a car involving electricity will stop functioning. Prolonged stays on buses or trains will affect their operation. Any intentional or accidental use an electricity powered device will fail.
How to beat it…
Magic: rolling to Cast Magic can disrupt the curse for a time however only a Big Magic ritual may defeat the curse.
These are really good!
Great curse. It remembers me to Dresden files a lot, but in a new perspective
I got this out of Mage the Awakening. Its more short term in Mage
