1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a Serpent's fang)
Duration: Concentration, up to 30 minutes
You curse a creature within range with the venomous spirit of a serpent. The curse festers within the target, causing a spectral serpent to emerge from its mouth and bite. The curse deals 1d6 necrotic damage to the target instantly, and while the curse lasts, the target is poisoned, suffering from the serpent’s venom.
While the target is cursed, you deal an additional 1d4 poison damage to the target whenever you hit it with an attack.
Additionally, choose one of the target’s abilities (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma). The cursed creature has disadvantage on ability checks made with the chosen ability.
At Higher Levels.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the initial necrotic damage increases to 1d8, and the additional poison damage increases to 1d6. Additionally, the target's movement speed is reduced by 10 feet while cursed.
