 '''Death curses''' fall on any creature who kills a [[guardian mummy]], [[mummy priest]], [[royal mummy]], or [[Khufu]]. This does not apply to killing mummies that have been summoned in any way; only "naturally" occurring mummies have death curses.
-The severity of the curse depends on the [[HD]] of the mummy. Followers of [[Kikubaaqudgha]] with enough [[piety]] are resistant to these curses - half of all curses are negated, and the severity of the remainder are halved.
+The more powerful a mummy is, the worse its death curse will be. Followers of [[Kikubaaqudgha]] with enough [[piety]] are resistant to these curses - half of all curses are negated, and the severity of the remainder are halved.
 No death curse is applied if a mummy is banished to the [[Abyss]], slimified by [[Jiyva]], kills itself while [[confused]], falls down a [[shaft]], or is killed by [[confusion|confused]] or a [[frenzy|frenzied]] enemy. However, allowing an allied creature to kill a mummy still results in you suffering the death curse.
