Sickly Bestow

4-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: touch
Components: Somatic, Material
Materials: A Carrier of a Magical Disease
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: melee
Damage/Effect: curse/necrotic
Make a melee spell attack on a creature within range. On a hit, that creature becomes afflicted with whichever magical disease your carrier has, and additionally takes 5d10 necrotic damage. If the creature is unaware of your presence, you can instead make a Sleight of Hand check to afflict them with this disease and damage, but symptoms will only begin showing after an additional 5 days. The DC of this skill check is equal to the target's passive perception.   The magical disease you inflict can only be countered by a remove curse spell of equal level to the slot level used to cast this spell. Additionally, you can choose to not deal any necrotic damage to the target creature.
At higher levels: When casting this spell using a slot of 5th level or higher, the progression of the disease is sped up by 5 days for each slot level above 4th.
Available for: Alithald Mage, Druid
