Hmmm....

Sometimes I wish that would work.

down side

The obvious down side would be if it gets turned into one of those really annoying chain texts that we all get. Wonder what the charge would be for mass cursing?

XD

But if it was an accident, would it reflect on you, or the one you cursed for starting such a chain ^o^ The the curse could ten fold on THEM! ^o^

Goddess Bless ^o^

crimson's picture

nah.

the down side is that they'd know who cursed them and how.

*thinks*

but then wouldn't they know who cursed them?

If......

If only that would work *dreams* and hooray for me! Iv just spent all month catching up(starting from the start as I could for the life of me remeber where I left off). Which unfortunatly has let to a LOT of funny looks while I giggle at things hysterically that they dont get.

Textcurse

Well, why *WOULDN'T* it work? Put the intent into the spell, text it out, and cast it as you're hitting send.

The only possible foul-up I can see in this is thatmagick likes to screw with electronics.

It may, but then....

My teacher put it this way: "The best spells are those you don't tell anyone about." So yeah, it'd work... but it may leave you open to whatever s/he sends in response.

True........

I guess I'm too used to dealing with fluffies. I had forgotten the.... how did Bonewitz put it, 4 Pillars? Or is that from Islam?

Anyway........

To Know
To Will
To Dare
To Keep Silent (the most important one)

So yeah, not only do you open yourself up to a return curse (assuming the one you're cursing knows how to curse back), you're ignoring the most important basic tenant - keep your mouth shut!

words of wisdom

and words to live by. Wow. I'll have to keep those pillars in mind.

May love, darkness and kittens follow you wherever you go. Mau!

Hoo Doo

An accomplished voodoo practitioner might get that to work.

There is no spoon.

hmmm

I wish that would happen so that my ex can be cursed forever even if he deleted the text message.

I never get why people are scared of me.

Ketira's picture

BTW - why the 404?

I have a link to the comic strip (just the "ohmygods" part) and I got a 404 when I tried to access this strip without logging in. I wonder why that is....

ditto

Yeah, I got that too. I had to go to the archives to find the strip.

And how WOULD you be able to text a curse without it backfiring on you?

~~A: Did you hear about that series of illogical events that occurred involving a duck? They turned out to be congruent in some unexpected way!
B: Har har! Please excuse me while I breathe spasmodically and become moist!

Text curses already work

Spells have been cast through handwritten letters for centuries. Writing is a simple and powerful way to organize and store energy, and having your message read is an easy way to release that energy toward its target. I see no reason why it wouldn't work on a phone screen too... That's for the hypothesis part; next step is to test it !

Texted spells and curses...?

Though I am a pagan and don't think DnD spells actually work, I do play dnd and enjoy it. Now, for you other dnd geeks out there, explosive rune sent as a text :P

So... My sign is neon baby -wink-

re: TXT spells and curses

well now that would be cool someone annoying with a cellphone yapping away then, "hey i got a text" -boom- and you in the background giggling.

Trunkstheslayer's picture

Techno-pagan? ....Fine,

Techno-pagan?

....Fine, don't crack a smile. I see how it is -.-

Fionn's picture

Theoretically...

It COULD work, but the more accurate and effective the spell could be, the more characters you need...and I think some text message systems have limits on the number of characters in the message.
