So, back in July, the Carnival topic was 'Legendary Weapons' - where a weapon became embued with its qualities, not necessarily from direct enchantment, but through energies gained from accumulated adventures and events.
So - conversely - why can't an object become cursed - simply because it's put together wrong, constructed with bad intent, or is involved in numerous unfortunate campaigns or events?
Case in point, my wife's car.
She owns a 2001 Subaru Forester- a 'gift' from her mother (warning #1). The car, purchased new, had come from the factory with a bad engine block (warning #2). My brother-in-law, a Subaru mechanic, told my mother-in-law to have the dealer replace the car, which she was within her rights to request, based on recalls, etc. She chose not to, but had the engine replaced (warning #3). Several months later, she was t-boned at an intersection (warning #4). And, again, went cheap on the repairs, counter to my brother-in-law's advice (warning #5).
At this point, she gets a new car, and gives the Subaru to my wife....
