Evil eye

The evil eye was a unique power present in Zakhara, the Land of Fate.

Description
It was widely believed that every genie had the innate ability to cause misfortune to befall another simply by looking at them in a distasteful manner. This ranged from a slight case of bad luck to full-blown tragedy.

Being magical creatures, genies did not need to be present before and individual to invoke this power. They could curse someone with the evil eye by spying on them from afar.

The evil eye was not necessarily a magical ability, rather a simple part of life in a land full of genies.

The simplest way to get cursed with the evil eye was to disdain from exhibiting modesty when faced with a compliment or praise. Performing amazing feats and then boasting about them usually made genies jealous.

An individual could only remove the evil eye curse through the avert evil eye spell, a remove curse spell, or by performing a specific quest.
