via the Arcane Lore doc:
Then I’m suprised they don’t just get accidently absorbed in the process of storing them.
It has a lot of holes.
Most if it’s just like, yeah it’s happens don’t ask why.
idk how exactly but I mean it’s not like it’d be impossible either there is literally magic lol
Yeah there are probably a lot of plot holes in the arcane lore, I don’t see this one in particular as one though since it’s just magic being magic
Also:
I actually argued devil fruits were very similar to curses in the thread,
but Vetex simply wasn’t having it.
Hmm it makes composing suggestions very difficult.
But it’s his domain and his rules.
The general concept of sea curses were different enough from devil fruits. But the issue was that it has quite illogical hold ons mantained and they weren’t well supported by the lore.
Curses take the physical form of a moderately sized Square. People can obtain the curse by simply touching it. Their square shape makes it possible to handle them without the dead body storage you mentioned. (The way they are handled is still a mystery, though)
As for their weakness for water, that isn’t truly the case. The reason why they instantly die in the ocean is that they’re polluted with hella magic energy. When a Curse User touches the ocean, their cursed bodies violently collide with the large amounts of magic energy in the ocean, causing them to explode and die. If the ocean was fully cleaned from magic pollution, they can swim in it
Lastly, Curses just don’t fizzle out when their users die, they simply shoot out of the body and land somewhere else on Earth. The only way they can be destroyed is via the Absorption Curse with an unrevealed technique from Hades, mentioned at the end of the Lore Doc

You’re not alone mate, figured they were baseball sized to justify their difficulty to find

my understanding of that is that pretty much everything between the end of the third sea and WoM is essentially lore notes vetex was going to expand upon with the development of the game which never happened because of the forced filtering enabled roblox update.
Why does the magic energy violently react to the curse? The Curse IS magic. Sure there would be some issues in regards the difference of intensity and the way that they function. But since Curses are simply better magic they should’ve able to easily overcome and quite possibly absorb the energy.
If you hook a machine up to too much energy it will damage and probably break the machine.
It’s like more like hooking up a car battery (The Curse) to a small battery (The Magic).
No it’s more like 1 Master Martial Artist vs 500 Billion Normal People, The Curse gets overwhelmed by the massive amount of magic energy, especially when you get submerged under the Ocean. There’s only so much you can take at that point
Yeah, Curse Users don’t instantly die when they touch a spec of polluted Ocean, but submerged? they explode

Then in that case, the curse user should be able to fight it off effectively in order to retreat in a orderly manner.
And why does is apply so specifically to the curse user, how doesn’t it affect normal magic users to an even greater degree?
Because curse users are physically made of magic. It’s not just inside them, they’re made of it. When they come into contact with too much magically irradiated water, it reacts violently with the magical composition of their body and explodes.
In a certain sense regular magic users are also affected; the reason magic spells like shadow, water, etc hurt other people is because it’s someone else’s magic energy violently reacting with their body.

Reacts violently why however?
If magic is now composing their body, in that case they have less things conflicting against the makeup of the mush pit of magic that the sea. It would accept them more as a bit of fellow magic rather than the combination of flesh and arcane as is a normal wizard.
And the magic in the sea isn’t formed as an attack directed to harm someone.
Because it’s two highly-concentrated energies coming into contact with each other. In the AU magic energy from an external source/that isn’t your own is harmful if the source is powerful enough (barring magic energy that are specifically for healing like life magic) . That seems to be a rule of how magic energy works.
