How do Curses work?

Curses are special attacks that you can use during crusades. In order to activate them, you need Fervour, which you acquire after defeating enemies or from random chests.

After starting the crusade, you will always receive one random Curse. You don't have any influence on its type, but there is a chance that you will gain the ability to swap powers for another during exploration.

Depending on the way it works, Curses can be divided into 5 types:

1. Fireballs - fire projectiles that deal damage and impose status effects on enemies.
2. Tentacles - from the ground grow tentacles that injure opponents, sometimes in several directions, and can cause additional negative effects.
3. Blasts - explosions that cause area damage and impose negative effects on enemies or positive effects on your character.
4. Slashes - Cuts deal damage depending on the level of attack charge.
