With a fling of spittle or a forbidden gesture of the hand, the subject receives a subtle but annoying minor curse.  Effects vary and are not terribly debilitating, but the effect on commoners and those in the public eye can be devastating.  A ''lesser curse'' can be removed with a ''remove curse'' or ''lesser restoration'' spell.<br>
