There isn't for curse, even though it will also bring down a commander that keeps fighting. It could be interesting if the Horror Mark would slowly weaken, given time, and the commander wouldn't run as big a chance of horror attacks if he stayed clear of magic and mayhem. Perhaps items or abilities would also help. Regeneration helps against afflictions, for instance.

Another option would be allowing astral mages to slowly remove the horror mark (getting faster with each level) but, while they are doing this the horror marked commander has a higher chance of being attacked (using astral magic on some-one horror marked is sure to attract horros).

Sounds like a sure-fire way to get horror marked yourself.
(Translation: It would be cool if that astral mage also ran a risk of getting horror marked himself.
Maybe even make a spell that moves horror marks from one commander to another.
And a blood spell that transfers the horror mark to a blood slave :O )

That's a cool concept, but it ought to have drawbacks...perhaps a risk of a Horror attack, Insanity, or even both?

That i would like to see (too bad it wouldnt work since blood slaves only appear as units during battle). Or how about sacrifice 10 or so slaves to free a horror marked commander and transfer the mark to some random fuzzy animal *imagines a rabbit being attacked by that god slaying doom horror*

10 is too little, unless it's a funky ritual at best.

Maybe make it require b4-5, 15 slaves, 75% chance of working and have a big chance the caster will be attacked by a horror during the ritual (only a small chance of it being a big horror though)? Losing a b4-5 mage is a nasty blow (losing either an expensive mage or booster items)and, even if he survived an attack from the horror the spell may not even have worked.

Well, that sounds better.
