Dependent
The cursed tool only performs when unstated conditions are met, day, night, or somewhere stranger, and fails one grade worse otherwise.
Rare Cursed Magical Transmutation
Usage curses gear used for skills or a weapon
The dependent curse makes an item function properly only under certain circumstances. Whenever you use the item to perform a skill check or use the weapon in combat, your degree of success is one worse than the result you rolled unless those specific conditions are met. The most common types of dependent curses are nocturnal or diurnal—functioning normally only at night or only during the day, respectively—but more restrictive curses do exist, such as a curse that restricts the item’s use to underground or a curse that allows the item to function effectively only during autumn.
