Bane

Limit Break

This the curse of the Undead, like Mummy Rot or the life-draining knives of the Nâzgul.

This is a slow effect, that does not have any immediate effect during the combat but which will, in time, kill the victim. You can use Bane on any target you have damaged during the current round. The target cannot heal Hits. Each day, you are allowed a Mind roll against the target's Body, if you succeed the target takes an additional Hit. This is a Curse and can be removed as such.

Barren Seed

Basic Action or Limit Break (Finisher)

You can make someone sterile, impotent, frigid, and and prevent menstruation and the production of milk or semen. The effect lasts for one month is used as a Basic Action; if it is used as a Limit Break, it is a permanent Curse.

It will cause a pregnant female in the first trimester to abort. The Limit Break version will kill any fetus, and can also be used to kill parasites, symbiotes, and other gestating creatures such as insects in the pupal stage.

Blight

Limit Break

This Curse causes an area of land with a diameter of your Mind in kilometers to become incapable of sustaining plant life. Once cast, it slowly kills all plant life existing in the zone - small plants die in a matter of days, large trees can live up to a month, though dead trees might stand for several years afterwards. The curse also prevents any new vegetation from growing for the current year. The effect does not kill animal life, but creatures living within the area of effect usually die or move away from lack of food.

If the curse is broken quickly, some vegetation can be saved.

Death Curse

Trigger Action

When you lose your last hit, you can place a curse on your killer. You can pick any power that uses a Basic Action, Limit Break or Trigger Action (Finisher), and use this on the person who inflicted your last hit. As soon as you awaken from unconsciousness, the effect of this power lapses, but if you die it continues until dispelled. Most effects used this way are Curses and so are difficult to get rid of.
