# Curse

**Source** [_Core Rulebook pg. 630_](https://2e.aonprd.com/Sources.aspx?ID=1) [4.0](https://2e.aonprd.com/Sources.aspx?ID=1)  
A curse is an effect that places some long-term affliction on a creature. Curses are always [magical](https://2e.aonprd.com/Traits.aspx?ID=103) and are typically the result of a spell or trap. Effects with this trait can be removed only by effects that specifically target curses.  
  
Afflictions with this trait are manifestations of potent ill will. A curse either lasts a specified amount of time or can be removed only by certain actions a character must perform or conditions they must meet. A curse with stages follows the rules for afflictions. (_Gamemastery Guide_ pg. 251)
