Hello!
My idea, in as few words as possible, relates to signs of someones death appearing on the surrounding environment before death. The two versions I've gotten together so far are:
- Cursed chalk; your classic cursed generic item, it compells the user to draw a chalk outline of a dead body (like they do in the movies) somewhere. Within 24 hours they die so that the body lands in the outline perfectly, as if it was drawn afterwards.
- Cursed tablet; when given a name of a target black paint splatter-like marks appear around a place. Later the target of the curse dies in such a way that at least some blood is shed, and this is of course splattered perfectly onto all the black sploshes.
Is there anywhere I can go with this general idea? As I already pointed out the central idea is signs of someones death appearing on the surrounding environment before death.
Note that I've created a story of sorts aswell, but I'm mainly curious as to whether the base idea is worth any effort to begin with.
This is my first post on the forum so if I'm doing anything wrong I take no offence if you point it out.
