Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes
You place a terrible curse on the target, stealing either its overall competency or its ability to think and act on its feet. Choose one of the following.

• The target takes a –4 penalty to ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks.
• Each turn, the target has a 50% chance to act normally; otherwise, it takes no action.

You can also invent your own curse, but it should be no more powerful than those described above. The curse bestowed by this spell cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with a break enchantment, miracle, remove affliction, or wish spell.
Casting this spell doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. Bestow curse counters remove affliction.
