This spell curses a creature on the same plane of existence as you with withering and horrific aging. The target must make a Strength saving throw against the spell's DC, which is modified by the Curse Strength Table. On a successful save, the target becomes aware that somebody attempted to curse them. On a failed save, the target becomes cursed and is unaware of this. Upon the completion of this curse's triggering event, the target automatically advances to stage 1 of this curse.
Triggering event. The next time the target changes clothing, they find multiple wrinkles, grey hairs and liver spots they did not previously have.
Stage 1. The cursed creature is compelled to rest when the occasion permits it, becoming lethargic and lazy.
Stage 2. The cursed creature becomes feeble as their muscle mass begins to deteriorate. The cursed creature has disadvantage on Strength saving throws.
Stage 3. The cursed creature starts to age rapidly, becoming decrepit. The cursed creatures strength score become 6, unless it was already lower.
Culmination. Upon failing the final escalation check, the cursed creature twists into a deformed figure and becomes a Body Snatcher. If the creature is a player character, they become an NPC under the GM’s control.
