Curse Technique: Heart Engravement

The Curse Technique: Heart Engravement (呪术・肝に銘じる, Jujutsu: Kimoimeijiru) is a technique developed and practiced by those in service to Jashin. Like all of the curse techniques among the Jashin, this technique requires the blood of the victim in order to be activated. However, unlike the other techniques, the blood doesn't need to be ingested by the user in order for the spiritual link to be formed. Instead, the spiritual link is formed from the manner in which the blood is formed from the victim's body, at which the caster recites: "Begin, the journey of thousand mountains and ten-thousand waters" (始める千山万水の道のり, Hajimeru, Senzanbansui no Michinori).

Upon doing chanted, the unique markings of the technique travel across the body through the capillaries and veins, overflowing them with cursed chakra. Initially this cursed chakra will be unnoticeable, and barely hamper the ability of the victim to move. However, quickly, the markings will increase in their depth of red, afflicting the victim with a variety of symptoms that will eventually cause their death: paralysis, progressive fever, dysfunction of organs, and most evidently, an increasing heartbeat to exponential rates, causing their death.
