If the caster wins, the target is afflicted with Tier I [Cursed](Cursed.md), manifesting as a grotesque physical deformity of the caster's choosing, for as long as this spell is maintained. This deformity acts as a Critical Injury for the purposes of any ability that interacts with Critical Injuries, but does not count as an actual Injury, and cannot defeat the target. > >- **Spell Ascension** – For each point of Ascension, increase the Tier of the Cursed affliction by I. > > >## **Indigo** > >**Keywords** - *[Polymorph](Polymorph%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md), [Depower](Depower.md)* > >**Color Effect** – The caster may sacrifice Hit Points, [Mana](Mana.md), or a point of [Courage](Courage.md) equal to their [Spirit](Spirit.md).

The caster heals Hit Points equal to their [Spirit](Spirit.md), and the target is also afflicted with Tier I [Prone](Prone.md) as the growth overwhelms their balance. > >## **Yellow** > >**Keywords** - *[Polymorph](Polymorph%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md), [Depower](Depower.md), [Economy](Economy.md)* > >**Color Effect** – The deformity fuses the target's jaw shut.
