DM Q&A - The Threefold Curse of Mystra & Arcane Mark

[Masterbard Alyster Darkharp]

Hi, been wondering this for a couple of weeks:

Is there any talk about the situation where one mage uses Arcane Mark (the roleplay spell) to forge the magerune of another wizard/sorcerer?

In FR Lore this would invoke the Threefold Curse of Mystra upon the caster, just as would forging the Magerune with pen & ink or any other method.

Thanks for your consideration!

In the way the RP Spell is worded in-game, Arcane Mark can be roleplayed as inscribing their personal rune or mark consisting of no more than 6 characters that must fit within 1 sqft. It does not allow for the inscribing of someone else's rune or mark, but if a player really wants to get cursed then just make sure you have a DM overseeing it

This is a good answer, thank you.
