Curse Shock

1-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 30 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: 1 minute

You launch a spark of crackling curse magicks at a creature you can see within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target, cursing the target for the duration of the spell on a hit. The cursed target subtracts your spellcasting ability modifier from the next ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes before the spell ends. After the target makes one of these rolls, the spell ends. A remove curse spell ends this effect.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, for each slot level above 1st, the cursed target subtracts your spellcasting ability modifier from an additional roll before the spell ends. For example, if you cast this spell using a 3rd-level spell slot, the creature subtracts your spellcasting ability modifier from each attack roll, ability check, and saving throw it makes within the next minute, or until it makes any combination of three of those rolls, whichever comes first.
