Cursed Skull

"Renegade skull, usually of a deceased pirate or smuggler."

- Folio Bruti

A cursed skull is the skull of a deceased human that later became possessed and controlled by a spirit. The person in question, while still alive, who would typically be a pirate or smuggler, would have abandoned their post, having their skull eventually be taken over by a hostile spirit, that would control the skull to attack passerby it disdained. While being possessed by a spirit, the skull is particularly vulnerable to the Verdimillious Charm, as well as the Skurge Charm (given that the Skurge Charm frightens away spirits). However, it would be particularly resistant to the Fire-Making Spell.
