Town Curse is a Spell Type and category of spells in Master of Magic. Like all other Curses, Town Curses are meant to have a permanent effect - lasting as long as the Enchantment remains in play. Spells in this specific category are used on enemy towns, to cause damage or to hinder their resource output. All Town Curses must be cast on the overland map, and often have a low-to-medium Casting Cost. All Town Curses must be targeted at an enemy town, upon which they inflict some ill effect. For similar spells that are cast on friendly towns to improve them, see Town Enchantment.
