death curse
Lethal spoken doom
A death curse is a malediction intended to kill the target or, in some traditions, a curse spoken by someone as they die—words believed to carry supernatural weight because of the speaker's final moments.
The term appears in fantasy fiction, folklore, and accounts of magical practices: The witch's death curse brought ruin to the family for generations.
