Curse is a nasty Status Ailment that leaves a creature weak and vulnerable. It basically halves all offense, as well as physical defense. On the upside, you can Curse Monsters as well. The Curse Spell isn't terribly reliable, but the Ancient Sword often inflicts Curse when it hits. This can turn some of the midgame bosses from invincible and brutal foes to manageable fights. It's not an accurate sword, but it only needs to work once. You can cure Curse with a Cross or an Esuna 2 Spell outside of combat (you'll need Esuna 3 during combat).
