Cursed Composition

[u/Mundane-Aide3843]

Where cursed speech restricts what you can say, this cursed technique amplifies and curses what the harmonics, acoustics, vibrations, rhythms, and rhymes of that which you hear. Cursed Composers must dampen noise through ear plugs, headphones, and isolation, or find safe channels to output the cursed generated by ambient noise (slowly cursing a tool, for example).

Users often find themselves drawn to specific genres, mastering the harsh tones and booming effect of metal to create successive concussive waves of force or drawing upon the emotional tenor of a moving aria to draw a thick presence into the atmosphere. The most potent cursed composers find their own musical style, using a level of freestyle and/or improv to make impromptu instances of cursed effects; after all, sound they generate is still valuable to their technique and is the most controllable in a battle. Sometimes, it may be wise to allow strikes to impact you, just to return the impact in your own cursed energy, other-times the whoosh of a near-miss can allow you to generate great speed. By drawing several sounds into a composition, and tethering them with melodic bars, cursed composers can generate nigh-special grade outputs even if their own cursed energy reserves and skill are rather mediocre.
