I’d counter them by casting a master Shrinkage spell making them 4’ 7” and them wafting a fart to them while their crying, then put them on top of a fridge making them feel like they’re a kid again and having a fear of heights would set in again, making them fear the height so that I cal laugh at them before bringing them down and saying how does it feel to be short, then say I cannot undo the spell, call it a curse
