You call upon the divine power of your heritage to place a curse on the subject. There are three standard curse effects all godlings can access. Additionally, for each lineage domain you possess you gain another curse option from which to choose. Each special domain curse is detailed below. The power of these curse effects are determined by what level of by the blood you cast on the subject.

• Decrease to an ability score by an amount equal to by the blood level x2 (minimum one).
• Penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks and skill checks equal to by the blood level.
• Each turn, the target has a percent chance to take no action equal to by the blood level x 10%.

The lineage domain curses, by domain, are:

The curse bestowed by this spell can be removed with a break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish spell. Because the power of the curse comes directly from you, it can also be removed by casting dispel magic on you (though not by casting it on the subject), and automatically ends if you die. Any effort to remove the spell that requires a caster level check always rolls against your current caster level, rather than your caster level at the time the spell was cast.
