to recite incantation on someone for healing purposes

recite some Qur'anic verse or magical formula and blow at someone

hound, pester

hold one's breath

lie in bed in a huff or protest, take to bed (in grief), pretend to be ill

cook something by simmering, cook in steam

to kill,

to worry, harass

shoot someone with cannon, to demolish, to destroy

with great difficulty, somehow

cast a magic spell by making someone eat something that has been prepared by incantation
