Hello class. If you remember, last time we were beginning to learn about the Curse of the Bogies. I had you research a demonic creature so that you would have a better understanding of what we were about to study. Hopefully you still remember the results of your research.

The Curse of the Bogies causes a certain demon to become highly attracted to the person the curse was cast upon. The effects can be very nasty because once the demon has been attached to a person it will then attack that person relentlessly using whatever powers it has. Generally the person is not prepared to defend him or her self and succumbs to the demon quickly. You can not be picky about which demon will answer the Curse of the Bogies. It will be a native of the area, generally, but other than that there is no way of knowing. No one knows exactly why this curse will attach a demon to a person. Most theories involve a spell attaching to the victim. The spell seems to have a promise of easy meat. Not all demonic creatures will answer the call. The more intelligent ones will ignore it, or as some people think, not hear it at all. This is a bit unlikely (creating a spell that only stupid demons can sense), but possible perhaps.

I hope that you got that all down in your notes. Your homework is to write a paragraph on your own theory on how the Curse of the Bogies. Make sure that it is convincing! Class is dismissed.
