m (Originally said that daylight (spell) will protect players against the deeper shadow curse closer to Moonrise towers, which is false. It also contradicts correct information present in the page for Shadow Curse (Condition). As such I have replaced it with Pixie Blessing which is correct and aligns with information present in the aforementioned page.)
