When the eye is pierced by a needle, the surrounding environment is unaffected by the curse regardless of how cursed the wearer is.

She's too scared to use magic. So we'll make it a bit less scary. Shame she'll miss out on all that cursed treasure though.

An eye sculpture flecked with hot white cursed energy. The eye can be pierced with a needle to produce a curious effect.

When fully cursed, the world appears as normal. With no curse build up, the world appears as if one was fully cursed.

The past and present temporarily intermingle as the dream searches for a coherent resolution to the inconsistency. The least realistic elements of the dream come to the forefront, as often a great lie is easier to believe than a small one.

Photographing a spirit will trap them.

What is Dafydd doing in this picture? He's supposed to be laying traps for these cursed rodents, not peering through windows.

The wretch paid me 3 coins for my blood this evening. What is he even doing with all that blood?

A crude map of a maze beneath Mostyn House is sketched on the last page. The very bottom floor is circled, and a curious phrase is written:
