A character is instilled a curse that can either give the character vast amount of power, or the opposite. The penalty for taking advantage of that will sap away the character's life, or at least kill the character emotionally.
What I'm looking for is a character who can only speak a fixed number of words per sentence, in exchange of vast fighting abilities. Exceeding those limits will slowly destroy the character's body, and continuously exceeding that limit will kill the character. Due to the curse, the character is antisocial, and uses body language to communicate, but not much.
The second part is what I'm looking for, but some of the first part I can also look through.

For the first part I think Blood of Yougen kinda fits.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Its not really a curse, more like unwanted bloodline ability. The snake in the main character's blood require him to devour human flesh every now and then.
Dragon Hunter - manhwa, not really recommended but it has character that meets your requirement.
Hiei in yuyu hakusho
Spoiler (highlight to view)
- had implants which resets his power, but later give him a lot of fancy skills. He will pass out if he overuse his skills.
Variante/Dawn Tsumetai te (sp)/Project Arms - has a common theme
Spoiler (highlight to view)
where the main character become a monster and over time, lose their sanity.
Hanako and the Teller of Allegory tells the story of a folkfore detective which has some supernatural ability.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
If he overuse this ability he will become a folkfore? himself/ lose his humanity
I dont have anything for the second part but if you like rules like these HunterX has a lot of them.

Your requests are very specific, I think it's quite difficult to find something exactly like that, so at least I can suggest Chrno Crusade since the main char has a pact with a demon which uses her life span to be able to fight in battle.

I think you have a better chance of drawing a manga like that yourself than actually finding one like that in existance. .__.;;

maybe kurogane its not really a curse, but his power increased and he cant really speak so he communicates with body language (not much). he is antisocial and killed emotionally but no drop in abilities if he talks either though (he cant but thats beside the point)

Not a manga, but if you've got a PS2 I suggest getting Drakengard. Which centers around that kind of curse by making pacts with Mythical creatures.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
These pacts can range from losing the ability to speak, age, give birth, grow hair, etc.
