Remove Curses
Since curses are irrelevant past D:4 for 90% of games, I propose the following:
- Items do not spawn cursed.
- Scrolls of Remove Curse don't spawn.
- Ashenzari maintains flavour with a 'binding' mechanic.
- From start you can 'bind' an item at any time for free. Bound items behave like current curses.
- Unbinding items requires *** and costs significant piety. (Enough to be a non-trivial decision; Ballpark at 15-20).
- The {Curse} attribute on items is replaced with the harsher {Contam} attribute or a new {Soul Drain} attribute, which causes red-level draining on unwield (this draining source ignores resistances, like Ashenzari wrath).
Fixed Arts Receiving the Soul Drain Attribute:- Sword of Zonguldrok
- Obsidian Axe
- Large Shield of Ignorance
- Robe of Folly
- Robe of Misfortune
- Scythe of Curses. (RIP)
