Dungeon Of Comprehensive Curses

[Gidoza]

Two question about this dungeon...

First of all, regarding that the curses here affect all players in the party, my question relates to those curses that are persistent in their effects...

When the persistent curse comes up, and someone in the party cancels it with a Wishing Ring or Orc ability/something else, is the persistent curse gone permanently, or is it still hanging around affecting everyone OTHER than those who have cancelled it (for whoever they wanted to cancel it for)? This could be difficult to keep track of...

In any case, if it is the case that persistent curses are only cancelled for those who have individually cancelled them, then when the dungeon vanishes, is that curse still effective on all players over which it had previously been effective (even if the original target of the curse no longer has this curse effective)? Furthermore, what happens with persistent curses that existed before the dungeon came into play? Do these curses only affect the original target?


My second question relates to the last phrase of the dungeon description, about discarding some curse instead of using it to protect you...I haven't the faintest idea what this phrase is referring to, and the best part of my understanding of it could only relate to a Wand of Dowsing anyways, since I don't see how else one could take a curse to "protect" oneself, so I don't get it. What's going on, here?
