Targets of the Hostis Pheme will find themselves under a bit more Stress (+1) and feeling less Charming than normal (-1). The difficulty level is 5.
The Hostis Pheme is commonly used in so-called "cursed items," so it is understandable that many wizards eschew its use. When used in spells, the Hostis Pheme causes more intangible damage than actual physical damage; in short, it affects the mind more than the body. A well placed Hostis Pheme with a Time and Fire Pheme can make a person's blood boil for a short time, perhaps causing them to "snap" at the wrong person or lose favor with a professor. When inscribed with other Phemes onto a stylus, the Hostis Pheme writes excellent breakup letters and pens dramatic lines for plays, proving that even the least loved of things has a place in the world.
