When the effect of a curse states the creature receives certain conditions permanently, does permanently imply the curse's duration is permanent and ongoing? Or, does the curse effectively have no duration (other than immediately imposing the permanent conditions) and the conditions imposed continue on permanently beyond the curse's duration?
If it is the case that the curse has no duration, can it be said the permanent effects are caused by "a curse afflicting the target?"
Or, more to the point:
Can Remove Curse cure the permanent effects of critically-failing a saving throw against the Feeblemind spell?
Feeblemind's duration is listed as "varies." The effect of a Failed save specifically lists the effect as having unlimited duration, whereas the effect of a Critically Failed save states the target's intellect is permanently reduced.
Remove Curse will "attempt to counteract one curse afflicting a target."
Are the permanent conditions imposed by Feeblemind caused by a "curse afflicting a target" for the purposes of Remove Curse?
