One Curse Limit	comment	When a world's rules state you can't curse someone who's already cursed. This trope centers on situations where an attempt to cause Status Effects fails because the intended victim is already being affected by something. It could be the same effect from a different source or else the fact that they were hit by something separate previously is preventing a new effect from working. Not to be confused with Acquired Poison Immunity, in which a character is resistant to a poison or effect because they'd been affected by it previously and recovered. This trope is when an attempt at poison outright fails because they're currently affected by something else. Bonus points if the current curse is useful in the first place. This sometimes overlaps with Hybrid-Overkill Avoidance if the curse would turn the character into a monster (for example, vampires can't be cursed with lycanthropy and vice versa). In cases where the resistance is caused by being diseased, this overlaps with Beneficial Disease. See also Disability Immunity, which this can be a sub- or Sister Trope to. Not to be confused with only allowing one swear word in a work. Compare Curse That Cures, when a curse cures a character of an existing illness or injury.

One Curse Limit / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Souls: Zig-zagged with regards to the Poison and Toxic status effects: They're essentially the same effect (take damage per second), except Poison lasts three minutes and Toxic lasts ten, and your resistance to both is even determined by the same stat, but they are still technically two different effects, with separate buildup meters, so you can be affected by both at once. However, the amount of damage per second inflicted by these effects is dependent on the source. Some players take advantage of this while descending into Blighttown, which has enemies called Blowdart Snipers that inflict Toxic. By deliberately giving themselves Toxic with Dung Pies, they become immune to the Blowdart Snipers' Toxic, which is more than three times as damaging as the Dung Pie version.

One Curse Limit / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV features Primals, who are able to 'temper' (i.e. brainwash) people into subservience. This forces only those with the Echo, a blessing from the goddess Hydaelyn, to fight Primals as the Echo grants immunity to tempering. However, tempered people also cannot be re-tempered by another Primal and some Primals mistake the Warrior of Light's Echo for them having been already tempered. The revelation that Hydaelyn herself is an extremely old and powerful Primal raises concerns that the Warrior of Light might genuinely have been tempered, but it is ultimately shown that the Echo is nothing more than it first appeared, a spell that wards the recipient from malignant magicks.

One Curse Limit / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: Warlocks work this way, in that a Warlock can only apply one curse-type spell, such as Curse of Weakness or Curse of Tongues, on a target at a time, with any new curses overriding the previous. In fact, two strong spells that were once curses had to be made into a new type (Banes) so that Warlocks could use them with their other curses. Though it is played with since a target can have multiple curses at a time so long as each curse was placed by a different Warlock. A spell specific to the Affliction specialization, Unstable Affliction, has this relationship with its counterpart in the other two specs, Immolate. In-Universe, this is the reason the Hillsbrad refugees accepted the curse of the Worgen — they would rather die than do so, but to do so would let the Forsaken reanimate their bodies. They accept the Worgen affliction, as it prevents being turned undead.

One Curse Limit / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons In 1st Edition AD&D, insane creatures were immune to psionic attack. In 3rd Edition, when someone is hit with multiple curse spells, only the most recent one actively affects them. This can be Exploited by someone who doesn't have a means of properly removing the curses, since they can just curse themselves with something relatively harmless, like infertility or the inability to rhyme. A rather literal example: In 4th Edition D&D, the Warlock character class has a Warlock's Curse ability. By the rules, "You canâ€™t place a Warlockâ€™s Curse on a creature that is already affected by your or another characterâ€™s Warlockâ€™s Curse." In 5e, buff spells don't stack, the higher-level spell's effect replacing the lower-level one if cast on the same person.

One Curse Limit / int_7885acfd	comment	A couple examples in the World of Mana series: In Secret of Mana, the Midge Mallet and Moogle Belt toggle the "pygmized" and "moogled" status effects on a character. In addition to countering those specific status effects, the duration of the animation renders the character immune to spells and other enemy moves. This can be exploited in Trials of Mana to heal all status ailments on the party for free. Using the Minor Mallet will make your team miniature, replacing whatever status effect they have, and using it again will invert the miniature status effect turning them to normal.note This only works in the SNES version, both the original and in Collection of Mana; the 2020 remake makes it into a key item and forbids its use outside the Koropokkur village. It's also integrated in the story in that there is an NPC who wears a cursed choker that can... choke her to death, but on the plus side, this makes her immune to Mind Control. Then the villain who put the choker on her has to take it off in order to use her as a Human Sacrifice to unseal the Mana Stone of Fire... just in time for the party to rescue her.

One Curse Limit / int_952797ee	comment	In the PokÃ©mon TCG, the status conditions Sleep, Paralysis, and Confusion are mutually exclusive because each one is indicated by rotating the affected PokÃ©mon card at a specific angle. On the other hand, Burn and Poison conditions are indicated by placing specific tokens on the card, and are therefore not mutually exclusive.

One Curse Limit / int_9f89a5f0	comment	In PokÃ©mon, any given PokÃ©mon can only be under one of the major status effects (Sleep, Paralysis, Burn, Freeze, Poison, Bad Poison) at a time. They can still be affected by secondary status effects like Confusion or Attraction, but a burnt PokÃ©mon can't be paralyzed, and a poisoned PokÃ©mon can't be frozen, for example. In fact, in competitive echelons, players often intentionally inflict their own PokÃ©mon with a status that isn't much of a bother, purely to prevent more crippling ones: for instance, a PokÃ©mon with the "Guts" ability may be given a Flame Orb (which burns the holder) to trigger the abilitynote Guts increases the PokÃ©mon's attack power and ignores the Burn status's attack drop while also rendering them immune to Paralysis or Sleep. The Generation VII PokÃ©mon Komala exploits this with its ability "Comatose", which causes it to always be treated as having the Sleep status despite being able to act normally. This makes it totally immune to major status effects. The downside is that moves that only affect or deal extra damage to sleeping targets will always work on it.

One Curse Limit / int_a81325d3	comment	In Final Fantasy games, being zombified grants immunity to poison and petrification. Regeneration deals damage though. Final Fantasy X has this as a minor mechanic against Yunalesca: Curing the Zombie condition she afflicts you with is a bad idea, because she tends to follow it up with a Death spell, which zombies are immune to. Note that it's also a case of Gameplay and Story Segregation, since two party members are technically not alive, with one being an Unsent and the other a manifestation of the Fayth. Final Fantasy XIV features Primals, who are able to 'temper' (i.e. brainwash) people into subservience. This forces only those with the Echo, a blessing from the goddess Hydaelyn, to fight Primals as the Echo grants immunity to tempering. However, tempered people also cannot be re-tempered by another Primal and some Primals mistake the Warrior of Light's Echo for them having been already tempered. The revelation that Hydaelyn herself is an extremely old and powerful Primal raises concerns that the Warrior of Light might genuinely have been tempered, but it is ultimately shown that the Echo is nothing more than it first appeared, a spell that wards the recipient from malignant magicks.

A bandit outside the ghost's tower curses Cugel with an immediate onset of cankerous death when Cugel kills him. Cugel's response is to simply leave, causing the ghost to make good on his threat. The "undending tedium" and "immediate onset of death" perfectly cancel each other out, leaving only the "canker," which Cugel is already suffering from in the form of a demon attached to his liver.
