Bestow Curse in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
PHB'14 p218, PHB'24 p246
Bestow Curse
3-level Necromancy
You touch a creature, which must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become cursed for the duration. When you cast this spell, choose the nature of the curse from the following options:
Choose one ability. The target has Disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made with that ability.
The target has Disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
In combat, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns or be forced to waste its action that turn doing nothing.
If you deal damage to the target with an attack roll or a spell, the target takes an extra 1d8 Necrotic damage.
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.
