Having an interesting discussion in the questions channel of the discord and now im wondering
If children can inherit a bit of a curses power from their parents, could a child inherit power from multiple curses if both their parents were curse users (or any mix of megacurse on megacurse or curse on megacurse, etc)
oh god dont give vetex ideas please
but it’d be so fun, what if all of wotan’s sons had inherited a bit of the wood curses powers? what if wotans wife was also a curse user and now all of them inherited 2 curses and have their own
We can thank God that Acheron cant have children then.
Then I think it’s a good thing Wotan has biological sons and not daughters because I think stuff would realistically get really ugly if Wotan is as power-hungry as he is made out to be
I believe the story is around the 1800s and what you’re implying was already found to have bad consequences on the child (deformities and such) all the way back in 295 AD, doubt he’d do that
Additionally, I feel like the power you inherit gets weaker as the generations go on (Calvus probably received less of the Apocalypse Bringer curse than his father, which is why basically a nobody in terms of power was able to beat him)
This would make it more ideal to have children with an original curse user if your goal is more powerful children, though that still could have bad lore implications (Giving a woman multiple curses and forcing her to have children)
Cant wait untill Vetex reveals 200 children of the Cursebeard
bros the genghis khan in AO lore 
Habsburg jawline and king Charles II. of Spain beg to differ
As for the rest of what you said, I think a megalomanic family wouldn’t care. They’d probably also have a curse inheritance ritual, like titan power inheritance in Marley, if possible. Maybe something like:
Curses are given specifically to royal family members, who before then must have no children. After that, I assume the curse user would be married to the most compatible member, preferably with the best inheritance possible. They’d probably be encouraged to have as many children, and after a member becomes unreliable in terms of power, they’d probably have the curse taken from them via a devourer, and the curse would be given to a new member.
This does raise a new question to me, though. How much does gender matter to beings of pure magic?
Those examples are different because it was common for royalty to only marry other royals, which is why kingdoms would usually send their princesses as peace offerings under a marriage. Obviously, after hundreds of years of this, basically every royal figure in a region was related to each other.
I really don’t like any of the implications in this post…
Yeah, I’d be more worried if you didn’t mind them
all of this is confirmed by ramses i and ramses ii in AA btw
Ramses I had the Sand Curse but passed it onto his son Ramses II, which signifies in some nations and regions in the world that there are ritual passovers despite immortality gained with curses
If he had children before the fracture they would simply turn out like Neviro lmao. Durza had NO magic of his own, which means he does not genetically hold the spiritual energy to pass down the ability for a child to conjure a magic circle, though the offspring could theoretically obtain an inheritance of only the absorption curse
Magics and Curses obtained by Durza aren’t really his… they’re just held in the Absorption Curse, hence why he is able to touch water unlike other elemental curse wielders thus cannot be inherited (they’re not genetically or physically attributed to durza)
Or wait no the absorption curse no longer exists, its a blessing so his offspring would get jackshit actually 
the absorption curse does exist, currently in possession by the peacekeeper (or will be sometime during AO lore, not too sure about the timeframe)
Did you read the entire comment?
It would be so much simpler if Vetex just said “curse users are sterile lmao”
yeah but wheres the fun in that
we can make a compromise, wotan gives birth (himself he magically gained the powers of eggs) to multiple mordens who all have guns
wotan was given the platypus blessing and now he can lay eggs, this is truly an arcane oddyssey
