That particular story is pretty much from before my time, so I didn't recognize it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> It is only not cursed if you use the definition that cursed items can't be thrown away. I don't think that is a valid definition of a curse, so I am perfectly happy to say that Stormbringer is a good cursed item.Now to bring out an example that will certainly get me accused of being a blashphemer again. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> In the mange/anime Naruto (I can hear the howls of pain already...) one of the characters is affected by a "curse mark", a powerful curse on his body that manifests itself as a tatoo on his neck. When activated, it increases all of his abilities and gives him a lot of power, but turns him into a sadistic, heartless monster. As long at it is active, it eats away at his body, and if it remains active long enough, it will just kill him.A thing like that probably fits better under the idea of a deal with the devil rather than a cursed item, but the two are pretty much the same thing, so I think it counts.</blockquote>
