Effects

Makes your curse incurable, but drastically increases rescue luck while you have it. Use at your own risk!

— In-game description

Converts the current curse into a shackled curse, making it uncurable. Curses received from quests can overwrite shackled curses as normal.[1]

Shackled curses add 4 points of luck when rescuing, or 2 points if weakened.[2]

History

    @viviampersand: shackled curses can be overridden by a quest reward. no idea if this is intentional
    @colon: yeah this was something i was considering and decided to leave in
    if you shackled your curse it usually means you dont want to overwrite it, which makes getting a curse from a quest "bad" like it should be
