Burning Soul
3-level Necromancy
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 minute but at least 2 turns.
You curse a creature you can touch. The curse breaks after 1 minute or with the remove curse spell. This curse can't be placed by the Bestow Curse spell. This curse causes the target to loose 20% of their hp at the end of each of their turns, as well as granting them one of the following two boons.
Option 1: Martial. The cursed gains an additional 30 movement speed and advantage on their first weapon attack each turn.
Option 2: Caster. The cursed gains can double the "effect dice" of the first spell they cast and have advantage on concentration.
20% HP loss details: When the curse is first placed, take the current max HP of the cursed and multiply it by 2, then divide it by 10, finally round down. The cursed losses this many hit points at the end of their turn so long as they are cursed. This number doesn't change until the curse is removed. This is not technically damage.
Effect dice details: effect dice are the dice used to determine the strength of a spell, such as damage or healing.
