A Positive Death "Curse"

I'd suggest treat it as an anomaly, then we aren't discussing too touchy subjects and trying to fit real world religious thought into fictitious magical theory.

Good notion. But for the sake of argument...

...I would say that is more of a massive Dispel directed at a universe-wide curse.

Could you prepare a specialise foci to channel and focus your death curse for a specific purpose? So that when you can cast the death curse at a time and place of their choosing

Interesting. I didn't even consider that. It would go back to my thought of it being rare for your death to be planned which doesn't usually happen but if a wizard did die of old age and knew when it was going to happen. Why not capitalize on it and use it to do something good or powerful with the use of a ritual or foci?....

Just my opinion but one needs to strongly believe in what they are doing to use magic. A "death curse" may require that much more belief because of the sheer power being used. So it may be difficult to do things other than pure revenge, OR using it to save or protect someone much like what Harry's mom did.

Harry's Mom didn't do it to protect or save anyone though. She did it to get back at Raith.
