Valda's Spire of Secrets
Accursed Act
1-level Enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M
Materials: incense or a black candle
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Lighting a candle, you speak dark curses in a lost tongue, directed at one creature you can see within range. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw or be cursed for the duration. While cursed, the creature takes psychic damage once per turn equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier whenever it attacks or casts a spell. If the target doesn’t attack or cast a spell on its turn, it can repeat their saving throw at the end of their turn, ending the effect on a success.
A remove curse spell ends this curse early.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you deal an additional 1d8 psychic damage for each slot level above 1st.
