Melisandre (Game of Thrones) Possible Ability Removal

[Ser_Hakim_Dayne]

• Curse Manipulation with Preparation (Prepared a blood magic ritual involving drawing royal blood with leeches, and then having Stannis curse the names of his rival kings into the fire, which ended up killing them over time[8])

For the books, it was confirmed by the author that it was not curse manipulation:

"You’re supposed to debate that. Melisandre wanted everyone to think that the spell she did with the leeches killed the three kings, but there is another explanation: Her ability to see the future through the flames showed her that the kings were going to die because of the machinations of other characters. Seeing their deaths were coming, she just staged this demonstration to take credit for their deaths." Fire Cannot kill a Dragon (James Hibberd)

And the show was faithful with that passage of the books, and I don't think the showrunners actually made Melisandre the murderer of the three kings by giving her such power. Thoughts ?

Neutral, the series did not add that additional fact to it.
And where did the author say this?

And where did the author say this?

"Fire Cannot kill a Dragon (James Hibberd)"

 

[PrinceofPein]

"Fire Cannot kill a Dragon (James Hibberd)"

Can be removed then

I don't think trying to apply a change to the show with a statement from the books or the author is correct. Because, although the showrunners were "very faithful" in the first 3 seasons, they still took many creative liberties, which became much more noticeable as the show progressed. And IIRC, in the books there are some doubts about the magic or existence of R'hllor, whereas in the show he is clearly there and is one of the most important points in the whole plot. Although if the other members still see it doubtful I propose to put a "Possibly Curse Manipulation", since in the show it isn't confirmed unlike in the books
