how does it work together? would it make it so eldritch blast does 2d8+1d10+cha with agonizing blast?

Hello there! I have too many ideas. I am very impatient am sorry that I am rude sometimes. I love splatoon and obssess over any minmax.I'm sorry if anything I post is unkind or offends you.I'm well aware that I am very weird and I like it that way! call me adam or atomic. check out the never ending arena for good combat! No alts, there can only be one. My mottos:
goal number 1: be funny in all ways possible
goal number 2: be nice in all ways possible
goal number 3: have as much fun in life as you can!
"the target suffers =one= of the following effects of your choice:"
"If you deal damage to the target with an attack roll or a spell, the target takes an extra 1d8 Necrotic damage"
Eldrichtch blast: 1d10
Agonizing Blast +Chamod
Bestow curse: +1d8
So 1d10+1d8+chamod
Hex or hunters mark is only a +1d6 but is also only a level1 slot, so probably better bang for the buck...
yes, but it is a spell and an attack roll. how does that apply?

Is it a spell or an attack roll? Yes.
Therefore 1d8 damage.
The spell doesn't say "1d8 damage each for damaging it with a spell or an attack roll". It sets a condition with multiple enabling possibilities, and if you fill any one of them, the condition is true. This is extremely normal English usage.
Since you also mentioned Magic Missile in the thread title, it's worth pointing out that the extra damage applies to that too. While it doesn't involve an attack roll, it is still you "dealing damage with a spell".
The interesting question would be: if you hit the cursed target with more than one dart from Magic Missile, does each dart deal 1d8 extra damage? I'm inclined to think it does, as each dart is a separate instance of "dealing damage" and there's nothing in Bestow Curse that limits the effect to "once per turn" or anything like that.
Magic Missile: eh. Ive heard that some developer said that each bolt from a magic missile spell forces its own separate conce tration save.
But if thats so, then change the wording so that it doesnt say the bolts arrive "simultaneously". If three magic missile bolts arrive aimultaneously, that sounds to me very much like 3 tines of a trident hitting at the same time, and you do not force 3 concentrations saves witb a trident.
I swear to balor, the writers are terrified of making the rules simple and clear because then peope wouldnt come here to ask a question thats been asks a hundred times and pondered for thousands. Bad rules drive engagement.
