Choose one of the following effects: the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made with one ability score of your choice; the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against you; the target must make a Wisdom save at the start of each of its turns, on a failure, it wastes its action that turn doing nothing; or your attacks and spells deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target. A *Remove Curse* spell ends this effect.
