Cursed Verse (Known as Song of Cursing in Tact) is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series.
Appearances[]
Dragon Quest VII[]
Making it debut, it is a hybrid skill learned by reaching rank 5 as a Mage or Troubadour immediately after completing the other in the PS1 original. It reduces the defence of one group of enemies for 0 MP, making it similar to Kasap and can also be learned by reaching rank 6 as a Walking corpse. In the 3DS version, it is learned by reaching rank 5 as a Luminary or rank 1 as a Druid, since hybrid abilities no longer exist. However, since it is an advanced skill, it can only be used as those classes.
Dragon Quest VIII[]
Now an enemy only skill, it is used by Pan pipers & Wailin' weeds to try to curse their enemies, potentially disabling someone for 1 turn if it hits. However, the Hero is immune due to his heritage.
Dragon Quest X[]
Once again an enemy only skill, it is used by Cursed crooners, Celtic fauns, & the Sea breeze diva, as well as Pan Pipers & Wailin' Weeds once again. It once again curses an opponent, but it can cut that opponent's health in half when it expires.
Dragon Quest Tact[]
Acting the same as in previous appearances, it is already learned by Wailin' Weeds when they are recruited and costs 13 MP to use.
