Note that if Taper Curve is less than -1, the spell will be almost invariably fatal, as the total damage fails to converge to a finite value. (A fun experiment: set Taper Duration to several seconds and Taper Curve to -1.1, and make a damage spell with a small magnitude. Nothing will appear to happen for most of the duration, then the target will suddenly drop dead.)

Note: Tapering does not work the same way on recover marked effects. The magnitude of recover effects can not be changed by the taper formula effectively meaning that taper weight is always 1 and taper curve is always 0, though a taper duration does still cause the magic effect to persist after the effect ends.
