This spell causes the recipient to receive a -3 penalty on all saving throws, ability checks, initiative checks, proficiency checks, attack rolls, and damage rolls and a -15% penalty to all thieving skill checks for the spell duration. A priest of Beshaba must physically touch the recipient with a bare hand to cast this spell, requiring a successful attack roll if the recipient is in battle or not unaware or immobilized. A remove curse or dispel magic ends the spell prematurely, and its caster can also banish a misfortune by silent act of will.

Notes: Granted by the deities Beshaba and Tyche of the Forgotten Realms setting.
