Bewitching Leechcraft is an enchantment aura spell that costs {1}{U} to cast and targets a creature. When it enters the battlefield, it taps the enchanted creature.

The enchanted creature gains a special ability: "If this creature would untap during your untap step, remove a +1/+1 counter from it instead. If you do, untap it." This means that instead of untapping as usual during your untap step, the creature can untap by removing a +1/+1 counter from it. If there are no +1/+1 counters on it, it won't untap.

This aura can be used to both tap down a creature when it enters the battlefield and potentially limit the untapping of the enchanted creature by consuming +1/+1 counters.
