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 spells 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 completion of this curse's triggering event, the target automatically advances to stage 1 of this curse.

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 agree rapidly, becoming decrepit. The cursed creature's Strength score becomes 6, unless it's already lower.
Culmination. Upon failing the final escalation check, the cursed creature twists into a deformed figure and becomes a Body Snatcher. If the cursed creature is a player, they become an NPC under the GM's control.
