That's an insane idea. To make it work without causing any environmental chaos, you'd have to essentially replace the moon with it in an instant... though teleportation maybe? But even then, that just raises the question of what even counts as a 'full moon' to the curse, no?
Is it a full moon if a different object reflects the sun's light in the same location? Is it a full moon if the moon of my world is 'full' despite it being damaged to such a degree that it is never quite 'full' in the same way people in this world think of it? Is lycantrophy functionally powerless if Eli goes to another planet or do other planets' moons trigger it?
The moon being a center of spiritual power makes some sense on its face, but as soon as you throw in things like space travel or the multiverse, the lines become pretty blurry and unpredictable.
Your powers are suppressed here, but we technically don't even know whether or not the moon of another world would affect you to begin with.
Yeah, but the demons that invaded my world came over from their world and started making people like me to bolster their troops, so either they knew our moon would work or theirs works that way, too?
That's an argument in favor of every moon being dangerous, unfortunately.
Though now I'm wondering how you'd fare on a space ship, rather than planetside... There are moons in proximity, but what angle and distance counts to a curse?

There's too many details to consider.

Damn. Who knew bein' a werewolf was so damn complicated!

Yeah. Don't even ask me why the moon even matters at all. Like, why does a giant rock in the sky dictate when I go crazy or not? I don't fucking know.

Uh. That might just end with me being pissed off all the time.

Well, then it's a good thing that we're not headed to space, regardless of where we land.
