You place a divinely empowered curse on a creature that you can see within range. For the duration, whenever the target is within the reach of your melee weapon, it provokes an opportunity attack from you whenever it makes an attack roll that does not target you. In addition, at the end of each of its turns, it takes 1d6 radiant damage if it hit a creature other than you with an attack roll. If the target drops to 0 hit points before the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on your turn to move the spell's effect to a new creature within range.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, you can maintain your concentration on the spell for up to 8 hours. When you use a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can maintain your concentration on the spell for up to 24 hours.
