The affected creatures becomes unlucky. This spell cancels the creatures' ability to use luck points on any roll for the duration of the spell; attempts to do so still remove luck points from the targets' luck pools, but instead of a reroll, the targets gains a -4 penalty on the original roll.

This spell is most commonly used by coolers in gambling halls to slow down players on a lucky streak. Gamblers who find that this spell has been used against them typically enraged that the house is "jinxing their luck" - to prevent this, the house often follows up with spells such as forget.
