a curse that affects a few characters in a series

i always had the idea of this curse and have several characters in a series that are affected by it pls review

Settee curse
A curse that fuses its victim’s soul to any mystic being’s soul. People that are affected with the curse are called Settean. Given the name, Settee because the person affected by the curse initially acts as “furniture” to the mystical being. The curse slowly binds the two souls until they are fully fused. Psychological conventions believe that the curse is related to schizophrenia, but extensive tests have shown that when not in human form only the autonomic nervous system functions which indicates that a separate entity is active. This and extensive knowledge as well as paranormal abilities have lead to the belief that the curse is real. An exorcism kills the Settean. The origins of the curse are unknown.

Setteans generally only fight other rogue Hyper Setteans and “demons.” However, the origins of the “demons” that they fight are speculated.

Forms of Settean
Human form – original form of cursed person, retains memories and personality of person, limited paranormal abilities
Mystic form – body retains its human form, eyes change, memories and personality differ from human form, paranormal abilities,
Hutch / True Settean form – humanoid appearance, physical changes differ from Settean to Settean generally: the physical body is altered (e.g., hair colour and eye colour) clothing disappears temporarily and is replaced by foreign garments. Markings appear on the body, objects grow from the Settean’s back which usually give them an additional ability (e.g. wings grant flight and insect limbs grant increased mobility), ability to use the Marlton weapon, memories and personality differ form both the human form and mystic form, heightened paranormal ability
Hyper Settean form – extensive body alteration, Settean looses humanoid appearance, Settean looses the ability to use Marlton weapon, memories, personality and logical reasoning is lost, the Settean acts only on instinct, extreme paranormal abilities, dangerous.

The Settean forms are not static and a specific Settean may, at anytime, be between forms, but this may cause schizophrenic attributes.

Marlton weapon
A weapon that is produced from the fusing of two souls it is formed from three attributes that form in the mind of the Settean namely: merciless, rebellion and vendetta. Named Marlton after it first appeared in this area, without a wielding Settean. It soon disappeared after being studied briefly, all Marlton weapons have similar organic metal compositions and ancient markings, forms differ but they are generally swords of different types
