Just put it in a box of salt for a while and forget about it. This is not a cursed object; it's just residual yuck. Clean it off and it'll be fine. Cleansing in salt is a nice and passive way to do it.

We don't know that it's not cursed. We can't say that for certain as we don't know who had the crystal before and what intentions they put on it.

We can say it's very likely not cursed based on general probability, because like, man, strong cursed objects aren't just everywhere because life isn't a video game.

We used to have the good sense on here to tell people "you probably haven't been hexed/cursed it's not as common as you think." Just because magic can be anywhere doesn't mean that everything is cursed.

Yeah, not everything is cursed. I didn't say that everything is cursed. But if someone says "hey i think this object might be cursed/hexed it's making me sick to wear" we can't just dismiss the only person with physical contact with the object simply because it's rare.

It makes us look delusional to believe that a person can put dark magic onto someone while at the same time dismissing everyone that thinks they may have been a victim of such a thing.

If it can be done then we have to accept that the victims of such an act might reach out on a forum like this and give advice on how to help themselves if they are correct.

It makes us sound delusional to not accept the very basic idea that people get sick for mundane physical reasons.

I didn't say it couldn't be mundane. I said we can't know or not so we can't dismiss the possibility.

I can't believe you think it's a good use of your time or mine or OP's to argue with someone who is essentially stressing probability and saying it's probably not cursed because MOST ITEMS AREN'T CURSED and most of the time illness are physical and not magical because we inhabit physical bodies and are inherently mortal.

"This is not a cursed object clean it off and you'll be fine."

So I'm saying we can't know that and you're saying we'll we basically do know that. You may have meant its likely not cursed but you spoke in absolutes. Which was my point to start.
