cursed
Doomed by magic
Cursed means under a curse—afflicted by supernatural misfortune or divine punishment: The tomb was said to be cursed.
Extended uses describe anything plagued by persistent bad luck: a cursed project that kept failing.
In internet slang, cursed describes images or content that feel deeply unsettling or wrong in ways hard to articulate: That photo of a hairless cat in a sweater is cursed.
As an adjective before a noun, cursed can simply mean damned or detestable: this cursed weather.
