ReForged Mod Lite - Curse Ward

So you wanted to be prepared and have a 10 or a 15 influence of Heart ready to go in case you got ghosts in your soul or Worms in someone's flesh. You work hard (or kill a lot of prisoners) to get your 10/15 Heart Influence ready to go, but there's a problem - how do you keep this dumb thing alive long enough to be able to use it when the time comes? Or maybe you didn't do that, and you're scrambling at the last second to get something together. Your boss at Glover and Glover is pissed at you, Sulochana has your number blocked, and your Study tray is blocked off from doing any meaningful work while you prepare to save your favorite cultist or a Reason card you have a fancy to from a grisly end.

If only there was a better way!

Well now there is!

Taken from my ReForged Content Mod, you can now use the Marruvine Idol in the Study verb with a level 10 or 15 influence and at least level 6 Heart Lore to create a Ward of Protection (Minor) or (Major). Minor wards last for 900 seconds and work on any curse except Worms in the World. The Major ward is permanent and is useful for all curses.

After finishing this node for the full ReForged, I became aware that there is a minor exploit in that you can craft the Major ward with only a level 10 Influence, if you use 12 or 14 Heart Lore. I deliberately chose not to fix this, on the grounds that if you have lore that deep, you can probably do more with less.

When you get your "last chance" to turn aside a curse, you can use this ward in place of the relevant influence, if you wish. You can still totally do the plate-spinning to keep an influence alive even with this mod, though, up to you.
