Acon nodded and removed one of her leather gloves. "Curse work. It's a gift that we all are born with, though most people don't know how to use it or even know what it is. It's a type of magic transmitted through touch. There are many typed of Curse magic, but mainly death, dream, body monipulation, memory, and emotion. Each curseworker can only have one type of curse." She explained. "You ever read Holly Black's Curse worker series? Same type of thing. Herman likes to make sure all his boys know how to use it. And depending the type of curse, will assigne you the job most suitable." Acon placed her bare paw on the stem of a flower. As soon as she touched it, the flower whilted and turned a rotten brown. "As well as common curses, there are rare ones. Such as transformation and coppy cat. I have coppy cat, but Herman has death. When I brushed his arm as he left, I worked him and used his curse on this here flower." Acon winced as one of her fingers started to blacken and grow cold. "But with the use of curses, there is blow back."
