Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Bestow Curse — It's the SRD curse closest to Hex — pick an ability for disadvantage on its checks and add bonus necrotic damage when you hit, though Bestow Curse is a higher-level touch spell with a save and bundles its options rather than always granting the damage. ✨
Curse one creature to take +1d6 necrotic damage on each hit and suffer disadvantage on one ability of your choice.

If the target drops to 0 hit points before this power ends, you can use a bonus action on a subsequent turn of yours to curse a new creature.
