This is a long forgotten 10th level spell, of which Power Word Kill is a facsimile. A Creature wishing to cast this spell must first make a DC20 ability check using its spell casting Modifier. On a failure it takes 3d10 Necrotic damage to its current and maximum hitpoints, no damage on a success. Regardless, a creature that casts this spell does not regain its 9th level spell slot for 1d6 days.
You utter the True Name of Death. One creature, that can hear you within range, is compelled to die instantly. If the creature you choose has 100 hit points or fewer, it dies. Otherwise, it must make a Constitution saving throw with disadvantage, taking 100 damage on a failure or half as much on a success.
A creature affected by this spell becomes cursed, and remains cursed even after it dies. While cursed, all of its ability scores are reduced by 2, and if it dies, it cannot be resurrected until the curse is removed, except by casting True Ressurection.
A creature attempting to remove the curse with a spell or Class ability such as Remove Curse, Greater Restoration, or Paladin's Lay on Hands, must succeed on a DC 20 ability check using its spell casting ability modifier or the spell or ability is wasted. If an attempt to remove the curse fails, the creature that made the attempt becomes afflicted with the curse as well suffering all of the same effects.
