Chastise

This spell is used to verbally chastise any individual who somehow offends the wizard. The offense must be real (e.g., if a wizard catches someone trying to pick his pocket). If the wizard tries to chastise someone for an imagined slight, the spell has no effect.

If the target fails his saving throw, he will feel an overwhelming need to abase himself before the caster. The target must perform menial services for the wizard for the duration of the spell, all the while apologizing profusely for doing anything that might further offend the wizard. The menial tasks that are performed may include, but are not limited to, carrying luggage, hauling refuse, shining shoes, and washing clothes. In no case can the task performed cause personal injury to the affected individual or otherwise endanger his person.

This spell is a favorite among the elitist wizards and is often used to provide a lesson for lesser individuals who interact with the wizard.

Notes: Common in Arabian settings; otherwise very rare.
