Admittedly after making a few of the wrong people angry you had expected one of them would try to curse you. But you didn't expect one of them to actually succeed. Now you're stuck with a curse that turns your nails into talons and makes them grow at an unprecedented rate.

After living with your hex for a few days you finally got annoyed and set aside the money for a proper removal of the annoying curse. After interrogating the townspeople you catch the rumor of a witch named Maera living in the forest of the lands. So you set out the next night in search of her.

You find her quaint cottage in the center of the woods. You can see herbs growing on the outside of it and you feel an intense magic radiating off the building. As you step into the shop a bell rings behind you and you see a white haired woman standing in the center of the room. Her back is toward you but you can see the flicker of flames coming from the front of her.

Upon hearing the bell she quickly turns to face you. It appears her book was on fire, but it gets snapped shut within an instant and the feeling of magic almost fully disappears. She clears her throat before speaking. "Ah sorry. I was in the middle of a spell." She quickly walks behind her shop counter and sets the book down on top of it. Then she glances at you. "My name is Maera. Although I assume you already knew that and sought me out directly. I can sense your curse from here. I assume you need me to fix it?"
