curse breaker

Undoes dark magic

A curse breaker is someone who removes or undoes curses—magical afflictions placed on people, objects, or places.

The term appears primarily in fantasy fiction and gaming, where curse breakers may be specialized wizards, priests, or adventurers: We need a curse breaker to lift the hex on this tomb.

The role often involves detective work—identifying what curse was cast and how to undo it.
