The curse on MacFinn
Rasins:
You keep throwing around that word and it may not really apply.
Curse.
It may not have been a curse. It may have been a blessing to MacFinn's ancestor, and the setting up of a tool for the BAT.
It's just that the Down Below Crew view it as a curse, and subsequent generations don't see the benefits to becoming a ravaging, homicidal monster.
Paviel:
That's the word that Bob, Harry, and Jim Butcher used to describe it.
For my part, I am inclined to agree that it's a case of "Cursed With Awesome," to use tvtropes terminology.
wardenferry419:
Cursed with awesome and terrible power.
Mr. Death:
Reminds me of a plot of an episode of Legend of the Seeker. In short, the Seeker and his group are in a kingdom that is being plagued by a monster at night.
Eventually, they find out that the monster is a member of the royal family, and the "curse" turning them into it was voluntary -- their ancestors opted into it so that the monster could protect them from an enemy force.

I liked Legend of the Seeker. Especially Bridget Regan. Based of the Goodkind books, right?
