Bestow Curse
Bestow Curse is a 3rd-level necromancy available to Bard, Cleric, Wizard.
Choose one of the following:
* Select one ability score; the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws using that ability score.
* The target makes attack rolls against you with disadvantage.
* Each turn, the target loses its action unless it succeeds a Wisdom saving throw at the start of its turn.
* Your attacks and spells deal an additional 1d8 necrotic damage against the target.
A curse lasts until the spell ends. At the Narrator's discretion you may create a different curse effect with this spell so long as it is weaker than the options above.
A _remove curse_ spell ends the effect if the spell slot used to cast it is equal to or greater than the spell slot used to cast _bestow curse_.
