Bestow Curse

Bestow Curse lowers all of the target creature's ability scores by 2.

Spell level	Bard 3, Cleric 3, Wizard and Sorcerer 4
Range	Touch (2.25 m)
Components	Verbal and somatic
Can be aimed at	a creature, an item or a placeable
Counts as an attack	Yes. Casting it on someone is a hostile act
Concentration	Damage can interrupt the casting
Area of Effect / Target	Single
Duration	Permanent until removed.
Additional Counter Spells	Remove Curse
Save	Will Negates
Spell Resistance	Yes
Metamagic allowed	Quicken (Cleric, Wizard or Sorcerer; Bard with Automatic Quicken Spell I), Silent, Still. The Automatic feats need level 9 spells, so a Bard takes them only with a second class that casts them

How it works

A Will save avoids it entirely.
It does not stack. Casting it on a target that already has the curse does nothing.
