The Spell of Shattered Sight isn’t a curse. It’s a spell.
However, I get the point that there have been too many curse and curse-like spells for the climax/main problem. There needs to be other types of battles that our heroes need to face.
I think if the Spell of Shattered Sight had been depicted differently from the CGI cloud of doom used for the dark curse, then it might not have felt so repetitious. Perhaps if the spell had been depicted as a heavy gale or as a snow storm, it might’ve just looked different enough to feel new.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what would do as the ”main problem” for a plot arc instead?
That’s the problem you run with fantasy. After a certain point, you’ve used all the tricks of the trade such as memory losses, witch fights, and even walking brooms. I think this show probably needs to come to a close at the end of S4. I think once the author of the book is revealed (assuming there is one) and the sorcerer’s identity confirmed, then that would be the appropriate end point for the show.
