References: Maiko Biladeau-Yukawa is known for using this spell when she has lost her temper and patience. Her victims include Flynn Hughes, Rascal Rosier, Liam Darrow, and Jesse Gonzáles. Most occurred while she was still at Hogwarts, but she relapsed when it came to Liam.

Many Hufflepuffs, including Ji-Hyun Jeun have learned from her, and use the spell. Ji-Hyun actually used this on DMLE Head, Solomon Carstairs.
