Because the curse applies only to enemies, damage done to yourself either through reflect or Scold's Bridle will not apply the curse to yourself. Corrupting (such as vaaling) the gloves may grant one of the corrupted implicit modifiers Curse Enemies with Level (10–12) x on Hit in order to dual curse the enemy on hit. However, the player must find a way to increase the curse limit, such as Whispers of Doom or Cospri's Will. If the character's curse limit is the default of 1, the implicit curse is applied second and therefore takes priority, according to player testing.
