blood curse
Lineage-bound dark magic
A blood curse is a supernatural malediction believed to pass through family lineage, afflicting descendants across generations.
The concept appears in mythology, folklore, and fantasy fiction, where a wrong committed by an ancestor brings suffering to all who share the bloodline: The blood curse followed the family for seven generations.
Sometimes called a generational curse or hereditary curse.
