[Mkguild] Regular visits to MK

[Kolrim]

Hmmm....

After reading all the various responses it seems that the general answer
would be: whatever works best for your plot.

And Amiga brings up a good point. Even if there is a 'quick reset' how
would anyone know about it? Before the curse actually locks onto a person
can a mage detect the curse 'working' on them? If so that would be an
interesting use of mage abilities. Set up a 'Curse check-up station' for
visitors and charge a minimal fee and have the mage say something like, you
are about half-way to being cursed and/or should leave in X number of days
to avoid being cursed. (This depends on what would be acceptable of course,
and it could be something that some enterprising mage could set up
themselves. IE future story idea, not something thats been around that
nobody else noticed.)

That was fun. A (small) story idea out of the blue.
