Curse Convergence

You reach out with dark energies to bind your will to a creature or object within range that is already cursed by you. This spell allows you to merge a new curse with one or more existing curses you have previously placed on the target, amplifying their effects and deepening their malignancy. The new curse lasts as long as the original curse remains in effect.

When you cast this spell, you may also set a condition or task—such as a ritual, quest, or sacrifice—by which both the new curse and the original curse(s) may be lifted. If the condition is fulfilled, all curses associated with the spell are removed from the target.

If a creature attempts to investigate the target to gain information about the curse—whether through spells like Identify or an Arcana check—they receive all relevant information but become Frightened for 1 minute, haunted by the dark energies woven into the curses.

If an effect is used to remove the existing curse, only the new curse is lifted. The caster of the removal effect takes 4d10 necrotic damage, is pushed back 10 feet, and falls Prone as the dark energies retaliate violently. The original curse(s) continue to affect the target until removed by other means.

Note: You, as the original caster, can remove the new curse at any time without suffering any damage or negative effects.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the necrotic damage dealt to anyone attempting to remove the curse increases by 2d10 for each slot level above 3rd.
