Curse boxes are locked, wooden containers with sigils on the exterior. They are designed to contain magical or cursed objects to prevent them from causing harm. Cursed objects are created by magic, and can kill their owners.
The idea for the curse box may have come from the legend of Pandora's Box, a box that holds all the evil and all the diseases in the world, until - once opened - it releases all this evil upon the world, leaving only Hope behind.
