I was talking more specifically about magick in general there, not death curses. When you join the forum you get a pm that has links to all sorts of helpful tutorials, you might want to look at that.
Here and here are some good compendiums of beginner’s tutorials for magick.
Besides that I’d recommend checking out E.A Koetting’s Baneful Magick, and Gordon Winterfield’s Angels of Wrath and Magickal Attack, they’re pretty good.
