Make a melee spell attack against a creature within reach. On a hit, you can curse one of the target's ability scores of your choice. The creature has disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws with the chosen ability for the spell's duration. The creature can attempt a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns; on a successful save, the creature can end one of the disadvantages affecting it (either ability checks, attack rolls, or saving throws). Once a creature makes three saving throws, the spell ends for that creature.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can affect one additional creature for each slot level above 5th.
