So, bad news is you’ll probably have to come in. Curses are tricky to untangle without thaumaturgical support. Unless the curse technician was really shoddy, they can be near impossible to ‘brute force’ within a human lifetime. Fun fact, the Large Thaum Collider that the European Thaumaturgical Centre for Research and Analysis (ETCetRA) built in France was originally designed to perform the en masse magical calculations needed to brute force deactivate stronger curses.

The good news is we have a specialized Cursebreaker Corps, licensed by ETCetRA in the fine art of wiggling out of curses. Thing is, curses like this are typically pretty stupid, being just unguided magical constructs. You can creatively finesse your way out of a lot of stuff.

This one is pretty common. Greatest enemy in single combat, yadda yadda. But like I said, it’s pretty dumb. I once helped a guy with a cursed amulet who had to do the same thing. Turned out, arguing vociferously against a piece of local legislation and defeating the town’s effort to move trash pickup day from Thursday to Friday counted for the purposes of ‘slaying his enemy’. Rose Garden, Louisiana still has trash pickup on Thursday to this day.

Lately, I’ve been kind of obsessed with looking at everyone’s slightly dangerous CATS fantasies and artwork… haha.

And well… I’ve been sitting on something of my own for over a year now.

I mean, lucky roommate.

In all seriousness, there’s the usual advice about boundaries that applies whether or not your roommate’s partner is a demigoddess. In this case in particular what concerns me is definitely the portal. So, you might want to get in touch with an ETCetRA-licensed telemancy portal technician - portals aren’t meant to be just left open, that’s bad practice. It leads to instability, inaccuracies, all kinds of problems.

You’re going to want to very gently break it to your roommate that their new flame isn’t being very considerate of the mortals in the household, including themself. If you need a third party, maybe you can schedule the technician while your roommate is home, so that they can hear it from a professional.

Aww. Poor guy.

Genus loci are always a little tricky, balancing the needs and comfort of one larger sapience with the needs and comfort of others - typically ones that live on or around the former. We actually just had a rough case in California, someone rigged up a true “smart home” and we had to shut it down. We’re lucky that terra loci like this are often pretty chill.

However, since ETCetRA (the European Thaumaturgical Centre for Research and Analysis) banned geomancy on this scale sometime in the…40s, I think, it’ll be hard to really fulfill a request like this. I can pass this on to Applied Thaumaturgy.

You’re going to want to contact a North American branch of the European Thaumaturgical Centre for Research and Analysis, known as ETCetRA. They’re the foremost authority on magic in the western world, and they have plenty of branches in the States.

In the US, ETCetRA-authorized institutions are pretty varied. ETCetRA sort of authorizes their basic curriculum and methods but how that actually pans out is very difficult depending on the degree, institution, lots of factors. Sometimes it’s like a university, sometimes it’s night classes, sometimes it’s a few people meeting in a library public room.

Always make sure you see the ETCetRA seal of approval. There’s plenty of fly by night diploma mills in the US that will just take your money or teach you magic irresponsibly. We walk about one in this article.
