Blood Malediction

Carried through the blood due to a curse once placed, Blood Malediction refers to both the curse placed and the disease that may then afflict generations thereafter. Most Blood Maledictions last either three or seven generations, depending on the strength with which the curse was cast and the intent of the caster, though some few have been known to last longer. More usually, a three-generation curse will cease to affect future generations fully but may recur each third generation thereafter in one or more children.

Most precisely speaking, Blood Malediction is a class of curses, as very few can be made to last beyond the death of the caster - very few spells indeed can last beyond that, and it takes power and intent, usually. In the case of Blood Malediction the Malediction curses are designed to make the spell last far beyond the caster’s lifespan, and are thus considered Dark Arts in much of the world, and banned. This has hardly prevented their use, however, and the various known types have before been used to undermine and even destroy families.

Known forms of Blood Malediction include:

Therianthropis - Possibly the most well-known and simultaneously most misunderstood variety of the curse, those under a Therianthropis Blood Malediction are cursed to periodically turn into an animal, and to, one day, forever turn into an animal, losing human mind and form altogether. While it is commonly said that this curse only afflicts women of a line it is simply easier to trace down the female line, and it is possible to cast a variant of the curse that is more likely to crop up in men, as well as a variant that at first seems to be Metamorphmagery. 

Sang de Mal - A kind of Wasting Curse, Sang de Mal causes the loss of strength, anaemia, a weakening of magic as well as muscle- and weight-loss. This curse is relatively well-known in Pureblood circles in Western Europe as it cropped up unexpectedly in the Greengrass family line after seven generations without. A slow death but an inescapable one, Sang de Mal is generally considered to be one of the easier Blood Maledictions to live with, though few would wish to pass it on to offspring.

Deofol’s Draining - Originally developed alongside Sang de Mal, Deofol’s Draining is named for the Deofol family, which was eradicated by judicious use of this Malediction upon every known family member. Deofol’s Draining seems to drain away magic, at first making it far harder to cast spells, and then making any magic, be it intentional or accidental, far more erratic, and finally seeming to remove - or perhaps inhibit, there have been no recent cases to allow it’s functionality to be properly studied - even the latent magic all magicals have that allow them to live long lives and be immune to so many more diseases than muggles. Those afflicted by Deofol’s Draining will die Squibs, unless they elect to take their own life before that point.

Sol-Sange - Considered one of the cruelest varieties of Blood Malediction, Sol-Sange, sometimes called Sun-Blood or Burning Blood, is rather easy to explain and to imagine. Those afflicted with Sol-Sange will find their blood vessels damaged by their own blood, a situation only worsened by sunlight. It is generally believed that this curse was developed to suggest that a family might be afflicted with vampirism and generally doesn’t become apparent until those afflicted are in their mid to late twenties - and often married or soon to be married. In this way, it was used to undermine many a marriage and to cast doubts as to the blood-status of rivals.

Algea’s Affliction - Causing a compromised immune system, those under this Malediction will find that they can be affected by even mundane diseases that would usually cause no trouble. It can take twice the usual dosage of Pepperup Potion to fend off the common cold, and magical diseases become vastly more dangerous. However, Algea’s Affliction tends to be erratic, with good periods or bad periods, allowing those affected by it some time to recuperate. In some few, however, it causes a consistent and increasing weakness as their body must fend off far more diseases all having far greater effect than they would otherwise.

Mal de Mentis - Like Sang de Mal, one of the easier Blood Maledictions to live with, Mal de Mentis rarely strikes until the fiftieth year, and more commonly strikes after eighty. Mal de Mentis causes aural and visual hallucinations, paranoia and memory loss, and is often misdiagnosed as Akhos-Lethe Syndrome. Due to it taking so long to take noticeable effect it has long been one of the more popular forms of Blood Malediction to inflict upon rival families: it is often very hard to identify who may have cast it and it can often seem that an individual is unaffected until much later in life, by which point they will have offspring often also afflicted. Due to the long time it takes before taking effect, however, those who cast it upon enemies must be phenomenally patient - far more even than is usually required of those who would use Blood Malediction on an enemy.

(Read about Blood Malediction in canon over Here, though the various types of blood curse are all my invention - JKR gave no name for what Nagini’s kind is called so I have here named it Therianthropis and redefined it from JKR’s sexist original. I hate that I have to include this but PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THE IMAGE SOURCE OR MY CAPTION.)

Ok, this little girl ain’t perfect, but she’s good, clean fun. —Yep, I also painted a rock today, which I made into a little magnet. Initially, upon completing her, I was bothered ... I messed up a little on her finer points. (Did I tell you I dot with toothpicks? Weirdo. I know. Lol.). Normally, I don’t mind my mistakes, but today ... I was super critical of myself—so much so, I was ready to toss her right back into the river she came from! But, then I thought about her a bit ... gave her some consideration, and myself, a little compassion. Sure, she’s not perfect, she’s a little on the simple side, she’s small—but she’s also really kind of sweet, with a softened presence that whispers she means well. So, yeah—I decided, I couldn’t just throw her away. Why would anyone take the time to paint something, or someone, special into their lives, to just turn around and throw them away? So, I’m posting her, in all her miniature glory. *MoonLeaf WhiteFlower RockMagnet w/Swarovski Crystal. #moonleafrock #mistakesandall #swarovskicrystal #handpaintedrock #rockpainting #rockmagnet #rockminiature #rockgem #littlerock #rockporn #riverrock #redbluffriverrock #littleflowerrock #simplecleandesigns #aminiaturemetaphor 🍃☀️🍃

4. Don't readily trust people. They usually treat you well when they want something from you. Once they get it, they are good as nonexistent. No matter what, treat them good and with respect but never trust. Their actions says so much about them, not about you. #Realizations2019 #WheninCantilan #TrustIssues (at RockGem Treasure Island Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzapEwOBCdb/?igshid=1oi98n3k3aia3
