[quote][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b] Darlene must stay tethered to Ted. If the connection between them is strained (Example: if Ted resents her, rejects her “help,” or outright denies her existence), she weakens drastically: her incorporeal/invisibility powers flicker, her link breaks, and she risks “static burnout” that leaves her unable to manifest for hours. While Darlene can’t be destroyed, she has a fixed anchor: the personal items of the cursed host. With Teddy, it was his campaign materials, his wedding band, even his tailored suits. With Ted, it's his old boots, his wedding ring, or his scars (which she’s erased). If an enemy damages one of these anchors, Darlene’s form destabilizes. For example, smashing Ted’s watch could make her manifest uncontrollably or strip away her protective stasis for hours at a time. The “Damsel Indefinite” protection isn’t clean. Every time Ted survives something that should’ve left lasting damage - poison, infection, shattered bones - the cost is deferred. The curse builds pressure like a debt, and if Darlene is forced away (by banishment, disruption, etc), Ted suffers all the deferred injuries and illnesses at once.[/quote]
