Vampiric Strength

You drain the Strength from other creatures and enhance your own. Make a melee spell attack against a target creature. On a hit, the target’s Strength score is reduced by 1d4. The target dies if its Strength is reduced to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.
You also gain advantage on your own Strength checks and your carrying capacity doubles until this spell ends.
Subsequent attacks with this spell inflict more Strength damage on the subject (or on a different target creature), but the caster’s enhanced Strength does no increase further.
