[Lol.]

Yes, yes, splash your blood on them. I'm sure it was scary.

[This is just making her laugh more?]

You're pouting. Did I hurt you that badly?

Where you're from, is the effectiveness of a curse determined by rhyme quality?

[She mostly sounds curious.]

I should take notes on what's expected. People keep acting like I can put "curses" on them here, and I'd like to maintain that.

How disappointing. Mind you, cursing people at all is not even something I do. There are a few techniques that might - technically be qualified as such, but they are mostly silly parlour tricks.

Mostly, I throw my bones at things.

[But parlour tricks specifically. . .]

The Sewn Tongue is useful. It is a precise sort of stitching that prevents the speaker from using particular words, or spilling secrets. There are a whole number of ones that are only meant to be embarrassing or painful. The Agony of the Osseum Serum is one such example. It just makes your bones slowly and painfully liquify. Blood curses are always in fashion, but I don't care for them - it's too easy to get some of the caster's blood and undo all the effort.

All of these are just - rote memorizations of techniques that are effective, rather than an understanding of the principles behind them. If you understand the principles well enough, you don't need to memorize how to do any of this.

I disagree. I think if you chose to learn them, you'd have the aptitude. But I'll think on what I know that uses blood as a base.

Bone Hurting Potion. [She rolls her eyes. But fine.] I'll write you down the instructions.

[Grabbing a piece of paper and writing in a messy cursive. It's like a basic recipe, but in the middle it has an instruction 'if he asks you to read this for you, don't do it.']
