Curse improperly read as *being* a satanist

[Cagliostro]

Upon recently reloading a game my character began getting spammed events as if the character was a former Satanist - the text clearly and repeatedly talked about how I had damaged my soul by my terrible and depraved acts.

Here's the thing: I knew that that character had never been a Satanist, since they became part of the secret Muslim society at an early age.

After searching through the save file, I figured out the culprit - someone had cursed me, and it was reading the curse as 'you are an experienced Satanist'. None of the character permanent flags suggested anything Satanish, but this was new - and my problems started in october of 893 (10 years before the flag end).

It is possible the curse could have the same effects as being a satanist - I don't know what the intent is. But it should not have *text* specifically telling you that the problem is your former Satanism. It does, currently (I got possessed, lunatic, and arbitrary within a month's time).

I can support this being very weird. I had this happen to 2 characters in a row (King and Heir) both died of rabies within 2 or 3 year time period.

1. The text needs to be fixed, because neither of my characters were ever Satanist. However If this event was designed for "former Satanist" then its a major bug because its happening to characters who never were Satanist atm
2. This event needs to be toned down or have some way to counter it... I lost 2 characters in a very short time period, had no way to counter it, couldn't go into hiding, and had no idea who was cursing/corrupting me.. Once I got rabies with its -7 health!! it was only a matter of time till your character dies.

You literally get spammed with a horrible event almost weekly in game.
First my character with Attractive perk goes Ugly
Second he magically becomes a hunchback
Third he becomes a Lunatic
Fourth he gets depressed and stressed traits
Various other events that I recall but can't remember the effects
The final event was getting rabies and dying.

Yeah, the effect levels are disastrous; in my case the character didn't die but was punished severely by the addition of several negative traits (and removal of the positive traits he had).

I can imagine this sort of thing for a satanist who had used a significant number of powers perhaps, but in its current state it is affecting non-satanists, presumably just because some satanist is ticked off at them.

When i searched the problem on google, one of the only mentions I found was a person on reddit complaining of the same problem, without knowing why they were receiving these events.
