Ten Shadows and Mahoraga

"So that's it. What a specifically targeted Cursed Tool..."

After feeling the Wheel above his head grind to a halt, Mo Bai spoke.

The Cursed Tool's effect was probably to bring everything within its effective range to a "standstill."

The flow of cursed energy, the rotation of the Wheel.

These forms of energy that naturally flowed were all affected by the Prayer Beads' ability and stopped in their tracks.

And that wasn't all...

When he saw that the Wheel above Mahoraga's head had stopped just like his own, Mo Bai knew the Cursed Tool also affected its wielder.

Using this Cursed Tool was like setting up an octagon where almost nothing but hand-to-hand combat was possible.
