I can't imagine any material pursuit for which I would endure this curse. But I realize some people are obsessed or narcissistic enough to desire time beyond the three-score and ten of a normal life to do their thing. Is not immortality a central reason for many people's drive to create something profoundly memorable?
Oh, yes! Self-justification plays a major role in human wickedness. "It's for the children!" "My plan will save the planet." "Only I can do this!" Etc. I think the word I'm looking for is "hubris." Nothing's been written about that before, has there? 😉

oh, obsessed and desperate cover a lot of ground though. Especially if that person has convinced themselves that they're "helping" someone or others.

LOL! Oh noooo... Nothing at all! 😂😂😂😁
Fascinating! An entire novel could be based on this spell.
Now that you mention it, this might still could be a Windtracer Tale all on its own later! We'll see!
Thank you! 😊 It did play heavily in Dark Device of the Great Chasm. But you do have a good point, this could be a novel all on its own!
Especially jelly filled donuts!
I mean... Rudigar has a point there!
Love the built in dilemma. Kinda of a vampire sitch but better.
then there was Baron Marius' approach to the curse...
