Okay so we all know why Zeref was cursed, he kept doing taboo research on life and death to bring his younger brother back. Anyway if you think about it what Mavis did isn't all that different, course she wasn't trying to revive someone who was dead but in a way he was technically already gone, and even though she knew this she still used an incomplete black magic with no hesitation whatsoever. Who knows one wrong move and that spell could have gone berserk and cost a lot of innocent lives just for the slim chance of saving one persons life. So even though the circumstances and methods were different they both did in a way ignore the values of life and death for the sake of one person. Now to some of you I may be pushing my reasoning a bit to try and make some sense of why Mavis was cursed and all but this is what I honestly think and I'm not changing my mind, unless Hiro says something different.
