The entire town slowly gathered outside the building, assuming that there must be some sort of announcement that would come along with this dramatic change. They had felt the curse being activated, and then the spell spread through the town and tore their bodies apart, but strangely spared the children, the town healer and a few others.
Most of them hadn't realized yet that the spell wasn't an offensive attack, but that the damage was a side effect of it banishing curses that were lingering in their bodies. That was why the children were unharmed. Most of them were filthy at the moment, as the Bloodline Curse had also been somewhat inelegantly cleansed from their bodies, but only a few parents were able to be concerned about that right now.
