[Dark Sovereignty Strike] - Empowering her strikes with the diadem's dark power, Arpious wields Dark Sovereignty Strike to deal direct damage while simultaneously cursing opponents with each successful hit. The strikes become conduits for forbidden magic, delivering a double-edged assault that not only inflicts physical harm but also ensnares her adversaries with curses that fester and weaken them over time. The skill is a testament to Arpious's formidable combat prowess and her ability to seamlessly blend physical and supernatural attacks.

[Veil of Desolation] - Unleashing a wave of shadowy energy from the veil, Veil of Desolation disrupts magical abilities and causes direct harm to those caught in its path. The skill transforms the previously defensive veil into an offensive force, actively impeding her enemies' magical capabilities while inflicting immediate damage. As the shadows cascade outward, enemies within its reach find themselves ensnared in a web of malevolence, succumbing to the arcane forces woven into the veil.

[Abyssal Gaze Mastery] - Projecting curses through the abyssal gaze, Abyssal Gaze Mastery goes beyond afflicting opponents, dealing direct damage as the curses take hold. Arpious's gaze becomes a conduit for forbidden magic, channeling the dark power into curses that strike at the very core of her enemies. This mastery of the abyssal gaze transforms it into a potent offensive tool, allowing Arpious to assail her foes with a glance that not only unsettles but actively harms them.

[Cursed Marksmanship] - Channeling curses into ranged attacks, Cursed Marksmanship enables Arpious to shoot projectiles that afflict enemies upon impact, dealing both immediate and lingering damage. The skill imbues her ranged attacks with the essence of forbidden magic, turning each projectile into a carrier of curses that haunt her enemies even from a distance. Arpious's marksmanship becomes a deadly dance of supernatural precision, leaving a trail of curses in the wake of her projectiles.

[Aura of Dread] - Amplifying the imperceptible aura of malevolence into an offensive force, Aura of Dread actively damages and demoralizes enemies in its proximity. The aura becomes a palpable expression of Arpious's malevolent presence, enveloping her in an intangible shroud that not only harms those nearby but also instills a sense of dread. As enemies find themselves caught within the radius of this ominous aura, they face not only physical harm but also the psychological weight of impending doom.

[Ephemeral Sovereignty] - Manipulating curses with offensive finesse, Ephemeral Sovereignty allows Arpious to craft them into deadly patterns that harm enemies more aggressively. The skill showcases her ability to weave curses into intricate and lethal designs, turning forbidden magic into a deadly art form. Each curse becomes a strategic weapon, honed and deployed with precision to assail her foes with a level of malevolence that transcends conventional magical attacks.

[Dreadful Ascendant Barrage] - Symbolizing Arpious's ascent as a Cursed Monarch, Dreadful Ascendant Barrage unleashes a barrage of offensive curses that wreak havoc on enemies and establish dominance in forbidden magic. The skill is a culmination of her mastery over malevolent energies, manifesting as a relentless onslaught of curses that overwhelm and devastate her adversaries. The barrage becomes a proclamation of Arpious's ascendancy, leaving no doubt about her prowess as a wielder of forbidden magic and a true monarch of the arcane.

...

In a secluded chamber in the witch city, adorned with dark tapestries, Arpious began her exploration of the Maleficent Hex. With a subtle gesture, she summoned a swirling vortex of shadowy energy that coalesced into a potent curse. The hex pulsated with forbidden magic, its tendrils reaching out to an ethereal target. Arpious observed with satisfaction as the curse took hold, visibly weakening the phantom entity under its malevolent influence. She marveled at the versatility of the skill, contemplating the strategic implications it held for battles to come.

Cursebound Dominion became the focus of Arpious's attention next. Raising her hand, she invoked the skill, commanding spectral entities to materialize before her. These entities, emanating an eerie glow, seemed eager to fulfill their master's bidding. Arpious directed them towards an imaginary foe, watching as they assaulted the phantom with supernatural afflictions. The aggressive nature of the skill left an impression on her, and she envisioned scenarios where Cursebound Dominion would turn the tide in the heat of a chaotic battle.

Abyssal Malediction unfolded like a dark tapestry at Arpious's command. With a sweeping motion, she summoned the ancient curses, creating an ominous field of malevolence. The curses manifested as ethereal tendrils, seeking out imaginary adversaries within the chamber. Arpious observed the field's effect, noting the immediate harm it caused and the lingering damage persisting over time. The skill's dynamic nature intrigued her, as it presented a unique and strategic option for controlling the battlefield.

Dark Sovereignty Strike became the focal point of Arpious's experimentation. She manifested her scythe, its blade imbued with the dark power of her diadem. As the weapon cleaved through the air, she observed the direct damage inflicted upon her spectral targets. The curses, embedded within the strikes, manifested violently, leaving an indelible mark on the ephemeral foes. Arpious recognized the offensive potential of the skill, envisioning devastating combinations in the midst of a fierce confrontation.

Veil of Desolation unfolded with a graceful motion of Arpious's hand. The shadowy veil cascaded around her, creating an ethereal shroud that disrupted magical abilities. She extended her senses, feeling the veil's defensive and offensive properties simultaneously. Arpious noted with satisfaction how the veil not only shielded her from magical attacks but also actively harmed enemies within its reach. The offensive twist to the previously defensive skill added another layer of complexity to her arsenal, amplifying her capabilities in both offense and defense.
