How to Curse Items without Bestow Curse

[Dreger]

OK, I need to unlearn a talent (only) so I can work on a new heritage. I know I can use one of the 3 cursed potions that will unlearn just talents and not knowledges or spells. That would be Cursed Awareness, Wolf Form, or Will Power. The problem is; Finding one of those 3 is very tough. You can't reset the shop to get anything cursed.

I know if I find a cursed empty potion I can use the Infinite Potions charm, but that is also a tough one to find... So...

Has anyone found a way by using a scroll, wand, or other means to curse a potion or an empty potion? I would try a Cursed amulet of some kind if I can come across one, like divination or enchantment, but lately I'm not finding those either..

bestow curse is the only reliable method for obtaining cursed potions

cursed amulets only make it so when you try to cast any spell from the amulet it fails instead

note that drinking a cursed talent pot deletes one of your talents randomly so you should expect to need multiple to delete the right one(s)
your alternatives are using a cursed scroll of timewarp or drinking a pureblood potion, both of which wipe all of your talents

Man, the depth of this game.... is simply amazing. Scary too.

Yeah, I know about doing the random talent cursed potions, Cursed Scroll of Timewarp or Pureblood are new to me and that's a possible option provided I can setup some levels with all the talent stations I'd need to re-learn.

Something I just thought of about finding cursed empty potions is that I might have gotten them from destroying graves and/or killing some undead. It's been ages since I've seen cursed empty potions, but it's also been ages since I've needed to destroy graves or did many undead types beyond random skeletons here and there. So... That's a route I'll try to obtain them.

Can scrolls be cursed possibly by using wands of scripting to duplicate them? Also.. LOL, how do I get a Potion of Pureblood? I don't think I've ever ran across those..

Thanks for the response! Cheers!

Just thought of something else... I might have been cursed at the time I found the cursed empty potions from the bloodline that curses you if you don't carry enough gold...

On a happy note, I finally found a blessed scroll of knowledge that I can duplicate with a blessed blank scroll, so I'm now learning spells slowly but surely. _hopefully_ I'll eventually also now be able to get that elusive 7th talent :D
