Damage/Effect
You hurl a ball of pure, malevolent necrotic energy at a creature. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or become infected with a rapidly mutating Arcane Cancer. This cancer progresses through stages; the target must make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of their turns, or the cancer advances to the next stage. If the saving throw succeeds, the cancer does not advance.

The spell counts as a curse and can be removed as such. Enemies immune to disease cannot be affected by this spell. Conditions may vary depending on the DM
