Is there a word for ill-wishing something, or magically influencing the future in a negative manner? (I'm looking for something less voodu, and more scientific or new age sounding, to go along with terms like "prescient" and "thaumaturge")

I'm not sure what parts of speech you need, or what particular shades of meaning you're looking for, but here are some words (some more relevant than others): malediction (maledictory, maledictive, maledict); imprecation (imprecate, imprecator); commination (comminate, comminator); anathema (anathematize, anathemize); blight; scourge; hex; bedevil; beguile
