"Ebonscale is a god, not a simple curse-bearer.. he's on the same tier as beings like Oblivion and Creation."

I meant that if such a curse exists in our canon, then every "simple curse-bearer" would cast it unless there was some significant drawback (that Ebonscale could probably bypass due to being a god), or something that denied a "simple curse-bearer" access to the curse (perhaps you need a godlike power to cast it in the first place- since it affects the outcomes of life and death, it could be a Destiny Force curse... but then, I suppose that a great deal of curses would fall into that category).

My apologies for bringing this all up. I just want to destroy any potential plot-holes before they even exist.
