The Spell

Item from The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin

Luo Ji's broadcast: a string of star coordinates fired at the Sun and amplified to the galaxy — proven by the destruction of 187J3X1 to be a death sentence for whatever it names.

Also known as: the Curse, the Coordinate Broadcast

What They Know

• Uses the Sun as a relay amplifier — a technique published by Ye Wenjie's late father in obscure journals.
• Confirmation of the spell's effect required 187J3X1's photoid strike, observed in Year 197 of the Crisis.
• Casting the spell on Trisolaris would also expose the Solar System; this is the design feature that makes it deterrence.
