Mischance (Untrained)
Recently cursed or still in the throes of suffering under its unpredictability, you are only just realising something has gone very wrong.
Woe (Dabbler)
You know you are cursed, whatever you may call it. You're beginning to see the patterns in your bad luck, possibly wallowing in woe, possibly trying to see what kind of life is beyond the curse.
Dolor (Novice)
The curse is beginning to feel like something natural, as much as it can. You know how to expect its unpredictability even if it perhaps isn't comfortable yet. There is yet more the curse has to show you.
Misery (Apprentice)
You have carried the curse for such a long time that it is beginning to feel like an extension of yourself, even with its unpredictability. You can see how its dangers can work in your favour, even if the risk still remains.
Scourge (Master)
Coming soon.
Calamity (Legendary)
Coming soon.
