Oops. accident post.
Ahh, well. I'm working on it, so it shouldn't be a wasted post.

I don't want to see boys shooting magic out magical wands, I want to see a mage summon fire inside someone's body and roast them alive inside-out.
Harry Potter has shades of this, they just aren't emphasised until the later books. Cursed equipment or obviously evil magic is going to be outlawed by any reasonably competent society, and thus, is going to be hard to come by.
Sectumsempra is easily one of my favourite spells of the Harry Potter series - a curse that only works if you say it in your mind. Its purpose is to cut apart living targets, causing massive haemorrhaging if the curse isn’t undone. It's especially interesting how this spell is used by Harry despite being the goodie-two-shoes protagonist, when he himself has called out his enemies several times for spamming a spell that kills instantly without pain.
Note that Harry doesn’t know the counter-curse to stop the bleeding, yet he uses the spell anyway. I always found this quite chilling.

Just a thought. If there was a storm outside, and a door was open, wouldn't the smoke from the smoke grenade just blow right back out the door of the airship? Especially if the interior deck were pressurised.
Meh, probably reading too much into it.

So, how about a curse that does not need to be thought of, that is always automatic and active, and it's always cutting people apart?
So... like a magical conveyer belt with a spinning spell cast on a circular blade? Or are we talking about something like the Yandere-chan kill mode easter egg, where everyone she approaches dies?

Anyways, this spell definitely is on the more brutal side. I don't know how curses work in HP,
Curses are brutal, often with unforeseen and incurable side effects (Think of venom, and how it can often only be cured by antivenom). You wouldn't use them if you actually cared if the other side would live or not. Let’s not even mention the victim's quality of life - one particular "banned" curse activates all the pain circuits in the body simultaneously. Said spell was used to torture a characters parents to the point where they became vegetables.
... Funnily enough, Harry seems quite fond of this spell by the seventh book too.
