Suspicious Coughing
I noticed another curse tonight and attacked it, then killed it. Not long after, I started coughing, like a lot. I thought it was really weird and sudden, so I thought about it for a bit and figured it's probably something from a curse. I put some positive energy into my lungs and throat, and I noticed a slight improvement. Because of that I decided I should probably get a bit more serious and I put up two barriers, as well as did some more stuff with positive energy.
For the barriers, I decided to carefully walk around my room, scanning everything inside so I could better imagine the outline of the barriers. Then, with care and intention, I listed out the effects and described them for each barrier. First was blue, blocking curses, their effects, their energy, and all of their influence from entering, while allowing them to exit freely. Then I added a red barrier to contain a special positive energy flame I was building, meant to kill and neutralize anything left inside that didn't want to leave. I also made a dense ball of positive energy in my hands and put it into my throat through my neck, and noticed major and quick improvements to my coughing.
Now I feel a lot better and am barely coughing. I still am, though, so I'll work on getting some more energy into my throat to hopefully fix this better. very weird that a curse could do something like this to me. Perhaps it's time to take another look at the Autobomb and see if I can do something better. I think the reason it seems like it's not helping is because I had a narrow idea of what a curse could do when I made it, and I hadn't considered anything else being able to harm me. I'll figure that out tomorrow though.
Inconveniently, I have to leave my room again before going to bed, so I'll have to put a bit more effort into this before I can rest. If anybody has suggestions on the best ways to protect myself, I'd be happy to hear them. I haven't really put much thought into it before since I had just been strong enough to quickly deal with everything that came by and tried to hurt me.
