You touch a creature, and that creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become cursed for the duration of the spell. When you cast this spell, choose the nature of the curse from the following options:
- Choose two ability scores. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made with those ability scores.
- While cursed, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls.
- While cursed, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns. If it fails, it attacks itself.
- While the target is cursed, your attacks and spells deal an extra 4d4 necrotic damage to the target.
A remove curse spell ends this effect. At the DM's option, you may choose an alternative curse effect, but it should be no more powerful than those described above. The DM has final say on such a curse's effect.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th or higher, the duration does not require concentration, if you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th or higher, the duration is doubled, if you cast this spell using a slot of 8th or higher you may pick two effects instead of one, and into cast this spell using a slot of 9th or higher the range is changed to 300 ft and the target has disadvantage on the wisdom save.
