Hey here are some cool things i thought of. Everyone can post here of what ye think is the science and physics pertaining to the laws of physics in the universe about the magic that happens in the Caribbe .
For E.g, heres what i think is the cause for the Muertos Moon curse :
Light deflected off the moon to Earth is changed when it enters the Earth in the Caribbean area because a certain 'mystical' greenish gas is let off by a Jolly Roger into the Caribbe and thus alters the light itself by making it that it seems that Jolly's face is on the moon, and then turns the genetic structure of humans in the area by shedding an amount of skin and flesh to make it look like the humans are what they call as undead...
( the shedding is because of the gas at a certain time when a powerful energy of jolts is released in the form of 'chants' by jolly and his minions and the gas itself absorbs this radiation, and is unleashed on living organisms

)
