My main character gets wounded in a fight early on - a cut on the left arm, basically across the flexor muscles. The weapon that made the cut is cursed so that any wound it causes will never heal.
I'm currently contemplating how serious this wound should be. I want it to be a problem that will remain for the rest of the book, but not so much that it poses a constant danger to the MC - I still need her to be pretty active.
Is it enough to simply have it go through the skin but not damage the muscles too much? It seems the fact that the wound never heals is pretty serious in and of itself. I dunno, what degree of damage seems reasonable here?
