Super Weight Gain Jinx
This spell is one of Coldheart's favorites to use on rude people. When it is cast, it causes the cursed to gain a massive amount of weight in a short period of time. More distressing and acutely embarassing than dangerous, it is perfect for Coldheart's particular brand of mischief.
Effect
Coldheart casts the jinx directly on the person he is targeting through his eyes. This curse takes two forms, both being plenty humiliating in their own right.
The simpler version of the curse involves the sufferer gaining weight without doing anything else. They will spontaneously gain about 100-200 lbs. worth of body fat in the span of only about 10-15 minutes or so. This can be quite humiliating for the sufferer as their body expands and clothes may even tear. After the 10-15 minutes of gaining, the sufferer's weight will remain stable for about 30 minutes to an hour depending on how strong the curse was. Then it will start going down for another 10-15 minutes before the sufferer reaches their original weight again. Curiously, there are seemingly no permanent physical effects.
The second form of this curse is more actively chaotic. The sufferer will experience extreme hunger, driving them to eat all the food they can find. This version of the curse has more potential to cause mayhem as the sufferer resorts to breaking into private areas to score food, injuring themselves by sticking their bare arms into ovens and grease traps, and even going so far as to attack people who try to stop them. For this reason, Coldheart doesn't cast this version of the curse as often, and only when the person on the receiving end and everyone else around them had it coming (in his opinion).
Manifestation
It is difficult to tell when Coldheart is casting the curse if you don't know what to look for. He will fix his gaze on the person he is targeting, his eyes will flash for a second, then he will look away. Soon after, the first signs of the curse will show.
