Please note that curses are the darkest and most dangerous classification of the Dark Arts. These spells are usually cast with the intent to severely harm or potentially even kill the target. The use of these spells is often discouraged unless absolutely necessary. Since this is the first duelling curse in this book, I took the liberty to mention this information here.
