A Sovereign Ward Against Robbers

Pen 0, constant effect Rego Corpus 49

The structure targeted by this effect is warded against human beings. They find it nigh-impossible to enter, and cannot damage it from outside. The ward has an Ease Factor of 19 to overcome; for example, a character might try to force her way through the ward, or throw a stone to dislodge the amulet suspected of producing the effect.

they are permanent but may be dispelled with appropriate magic. Maledictions can be of any appropriate Technique or Form, and have a base level of 10 for a Lesser Malediction, and level 30 for a Greater Malediction. To add insult to injury, those under a Malediction suffer Warping.

Not all curses are actually effective. It costs no Build Points to have a dire curse written on one's tomb that has no magical force. Furthermore, some individuals (or their duplicitous architects) may have saved costs by having a lector priest write a false curse instead of a real one (see Hollow Promise of a Swift Death in the nearby insert).

A curse costs two Build Points for every five levels of effects.
