Description
An artist named Markas wants to create a mask so inspiring that it will make his name his famous once more. He looks for inspiration in a book about an ugly sorcerer named Drothor who cursed anyone that referred to the features of his face. He completes the mask and deems it his masterpiece and hatches a scheme to commit robbery while wearing the mask since it is so lifelike no one will suspect that it is merely a mask. He empties a safe, but police pursue him into his hideout, though he is not worried as he can simply remove the mask and be safe. But the curse has struck once again, for Markas finds to his horror that after removing the mask, his own face come to appear exactly as Drothor's.
