I am so glad your poodlay Rainbow still lives! 

Your spell is unusual in that it is the opposite or inverse of an
ex-voto: Instead of promising the gods a gift (such as a candle, or a
feast, or a donation to the church) on the condition that the poodlay's
health improves, you promise to withhold evil spells if she recovers. 

It's not blackmail because, after all, in this case, the gods did not do
anything potentially incriminating that you might expose -- but it preys
upon their presumed preference for an orderly, kindly universe in which
death-spells and break-up spells are not dispersed willy-nilly to the
teens and sub-teens who would be most inclined to use them. 

I like the way you made the link, too. I imagine you writing down the
more dreadful spells on copies of Jehovah's Witnesses tracts, Saint
Francis holy cards, and Veterinarian bills. : )

Long live the poodlay of pleasure!
