Cursed objects usually have
bad effects.
Cursed equipment (
armor,

cursed wands,
potions, or
scrolls often
backfire or have limited
effect. To
curse an
item,
dip it in
unholy water.
To uncurse an item, dip it in holy water. The spell "remove curse", in scroll form or if cast on you, will uncurse a random item. If you are in big trouble from a cursed item, such as an amulet of strangulation or boots of levitation, pray to your god.
