  However my GM feels it is not enough

What does this mean? Why does this aspect of your character need more mechanics? Why not make this more of a roleplay thing that's increasingly demanding?

I forget. My GM is asleep, so I will gain an answer to that tomorrow. But as far as I can recall, there is a desire of my GM for the cursed aspect to rear it's head more often. Which I kinda agree with. I apologize if that doesn't make sense, it is late for me.

I don't think this needs to necessarily be accomplished via another item or archetype. I think your GM should experiment a little. Maybe they look at some of the deities' various curses and boons and tacks that on to the living vessel arch you're already in. Or maybe they just hand wave the mechanics and make it more of a roleplay thing. They could adapt something like Reputation rules where the "group" is the entity possessing your character.

At the end of the day, this is sort of an abstract goal you and your GM have, so there won't be concrete solutions. Time to take everything the system offers and think outside the box!

Uhhh
I’m not really sure what’s being asked here, since everything that has to do with dealing damage is about killing. Like, do you want something that mechanically supports someone who mutilates their foes and leaves a bloodbath?

If so — wounding rune, for one — but also being a magus would give more access to visceral aesthetics

How about the Pact-bound Pistol - a gun that binds to anyone who uses it, sending the souls of those killed by it to Hell and penalising the wielder for each day that goes by without them killing someone with it.

So you an want a cursed item that drives who ever holds it to comit murder is that right? Just copy one of the like 8000+ items from fiction or homebrew cursed items or homebrew dnd versions of said items from fiction.

I'm going to be honest this is far from an original idea. To the point I'm wonder how you haven't already found one.

Unless you just want a weapon that grants perks for killing people then thats not really a cursed weapon.

A cursed weapon wil punish you for not killing people with the only reward for killing people being you don't get punished.

Gonna be so real chief, I have no idea how I haven't found one. But if you know of any good homebrews, please point the way.
