The curse empowers the afflicted with the ability to draw upon a powerful sonic scream. This is triggered whenever someone has wronged them on an intimate level. This is not difficult, as the curse subconsciously conditions the women of the bloodline to be aggressive and selfish. The curse may only be broken if the afflicted kills the one who triggered their powers. The longer the offender lives, the more potent the scream will become until she becomes able to project it anywhere in the world. Only by concentrating on their offender may they destroy them.<ref name="Worlds Finest" /><ref name="Worlds Finest" />

"We're cursed, Siobhan. From way back in the day, before we left Ireland. Some starving bog lady ancestor stole from a banshee."
—Sinead[src]

The Curse of the Banshee is a supernatural affliction placed upon the bloodline of Sinead and Siobhan Smythe when one of their ancestors in Ireland stole from a banshee. Rooted in dark magic, the curse compels the women of the family to kill any who wrong them to break the curse.[1]
