Description[]
The firewood is a meter in length and charred on one end.
Origin[]
Jacques De Molay was the Last Grand Master of The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon also known as The Knights Templar. The King of France back then had a large monetary debt to the Knights Templar and wanted all of the Orders assets. The King accused the order of witchcraft, heresy, sodomy, etc. because these acts was punishable by death. The Papacy, from which the knights had received special protection, was forced to remove their protection. On 18 March 1314, Jacques De Molay was burned at the stake at Île de la Cité in Paris. Before the flames consumed him he cursed both the Pope and the King of France. In less than three months both the King and the Pope died.
Activation[]
When used, the charred end of the wood will produce a fire which will travel along the wood. The flame won't harm the user if they do not utter a curse at someone. If the person using it utters a curse, then the flame would consume the user, turning the user into a pile of ash. The wood however would not be affected by the flame and will remain as it is.
