Appearance: Invisible, but interacts with the items it is around. It creates a sort of breeze effect as it passes through the air before hitting its intended target.

Description: Pulmonary Obscura is used to restrict the breathing of those that are being cursed. It is invisible, but it creates what could be described as the same feeling that a tight, plastic sealing might feel over one's nose and mouth.

The victim cannot remove the sort of seal. Most end up scratching their faces around their mouths and nose. This is one of the indicators that it could be the spell that was used, if the victim dies. The caster controls how long this spell is used and to what degree the victim suffers. It has most commonly been associated with torture.

Regulations: Illegal
