You're mixing intrinsic magic path bonuses with blessings there

What does death curse actually do? Is it just a euphamism for curse?

And what does 2 an+mr mean for death weapons?

Age bonuses are explained in the FAQ. Death magic grants +30 undead leadership per level, not +20 as the manual erroneously claims. It was +20 in Dom2, but with the larger armies in Dom3, the bonus was increased.

Death magic does reduce chance of old age afflcitions. Someone did extensive testing on that sometime back.

The age boosts from magic paths are linked to creature type, IIRC.

I think it's Fire and Nature for living mages, death for demons and undead.

EDIT: Sorry Edi, didn't see that part of your post >.<

2 an+mr means 2 Armor negating damage, with a magic resistance roll.
Which is actually, like most Dom damage, 2 plus a random roll, open ended d6.

"Death curse" means that somebody who kills you has a chance (MR check?) of being cursed. Might be useful if you've got piles of flagellants or the like, but bear in mind that curse doesn't stack -- you're either cursed or you're not -- and the only impact is increased chance of afflictions when wounded.
