The Necromancr's Curses are powerful magical skills that must be used cleverly to come to their full effect. Curses do not do direct damage, but are cast on monsters to increase the damage they take, slow them, blind them, and so on. Using the right curse in the right situation is what makes a Necromancer powerful, and the fact that almost no curses stack makes the choice and timing of which to use, and when to use it, quite important.
