You grip the nail-pierced hunk of leather and cast the spell. A small black dagger jets from the tip of the nail and strikes your opponent squarely in the chest.
The target of the spell has a hard time avoiding attacks, sometimes even seeming to stumble into harm’s way. The subject takes a –2 penalty to AC.
The curse cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with a break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish spell.
Arcane Material Component: A nail through a piece of leather.
