It's...it's a magic spell.
"Magicians" were common in your country. These people claimed to have dark power and the ability to curse those who they disliked. If you didn't pay them due or show them respect, it was said that misfortune would befall you. Of course, the more prominent magicians had persons under them who could make that misfortune happen.
The paper contains a curse, strongly worded, but not unfamiliar. It prophesies destruction if the proper sacraments are not made to the one who called forth the curse.
Most of the time these are signed with a seal or sigil, something to let the recipient identify who to pay sacrament to. This one is burnt where the sigil would be.
You're not too superstitious but...something like this...it's unnerving.
At least this is the only one floating around...right?
