A Positive Death "Curse"

<< < (2/6) > >>

khadgar4606:
okay  the funny point is how many outsider cults use blood magic to summon a outsider use the freaking dead curse as destructive final f you you guys think? nearly every sacrifice using blood magic willing sacrifice uses their dead curse to get the demon appear in material world instead of taking revenge on the guy who does the final act.

That was basically what Jim said, so you got the jist of it.  But yes, you can. You just aren't going to typically have good intentions, feeling etc when you are dying so your death likely will result in a curse rather than a blessing.

Kindler:
Harry does, at some point, question what happens when he lays down a death curse backed by Soulfire. He meant it reference to what happens to his soul if it's burned up in a death curse, but Soulfire is a creative force, not a destructive one. Maybe a Soulfire Death Curse could be used in a purely creative fashion, rather than a purely destructive one.

Paviel:
Didn't Jesus cast a "Death Blessing"?

raidem:
I wouldn't work too hard in trying to fit religious figures like Jesus into the Dresden Files.  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.
