I've done some searching, and between that and the description, I gather that troops in the province stand some chance of getting cursed, and it sounds like maybe some bad event happens in the province. From this point here are some specific newbie-esque questions:

1) Anyone know how the curse works? Any chance that it works like the curse spell, and that MR negates?

That seems to be the case. When I've used it, some but not all units in the province are cursed, so I assumed it was an MR save.

2) Does this spell have a one turn only effect?

Cursed units are permanently cursed, and if it lowers the luck of the province, I believe that effect remains until it rebalances itself, but I don't think any new effects happen (ie: further cursings) after the first turn.

3) If it is the case that there is a bad event - is it guaranteed that a bad event will happen, or some percentage chance? Is the bad event randomly chosen from the total list of bad events?

I don't know - I've only used it on enemies - I've never been targeted by it. You could probably test this in a private game by casting it on yourself.

4) Is anyone out there finding this spell useful in MP play?
You'll need an MP played (not me) to better answer this one. It might have some specific good uses, but I'm guessing there's better uses of your 8S in general, though.
