Their curse, however, seems to sustain them to a degree as well as granting them some powerful abilities, however it is slowly but surely get a grip of their existence an will soon start to warp them into horrible creatures if not stopped. Verflucht Humans live a sad existence, completely indistinguishable from normal humans save for a mark on their skin, they are often driven to exile when discovered.
