***Prerequisite:** 5th level* ___ You have studied the history of ancient curses and oaths, and in doing so learned to turn this knowledge on others. You may spend a hit die to replicate the *[bestow curse](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/bestow_curse)* spell. Starting at level 9 you may plumb even darker depth of knowledge to instead replicate it as if it were cast at 5th level, 7th level at level 13, and lasting indefinitely without concentration until removed at level 17, though such knowledge takes a toll on those who study it, and using the improved version of this curse **grants you a level of strife.** Only one creature may be cursed by you at a time, and if you curse another the curse on the previous creature immediately ends. #scholarlyDiscoveries #additionalSpells #enhancedBestowCurse
