Speaking backwards, you inscribe a rune on a flat surface with the ash. Choose one creature within range to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is cursed for the duration of the spell. While cursed, whenever the target attempts to eat or drink, the food and drink turns to ash in its mouth, and the target takes 1d12 necrotic damage. The target cannot die of starvation or dehydration, though the target is unable to procure any benefits by eating or drinking food, beverages, or potions of any kind. At the end of each hour, the target can repeat this saving throw, ending the effects early on a success.   If you are in possession of a piece of the target's body at the time of this spell's casting, such as a clump of hair, a fingernail, a scale, or body part, the target has disadvantage on its saving throw against this spell's effects.   A remove curse spell ends this curse early, provided that it is cast using a spell slot of the same level or higher at which this spell was cast
