You touch a creature, and that creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become cursed for the duration of the spell. When you cast this spell, choose to curse the target with magical Hunger or Thirst.
Hunger. While cursed, the target suffers from overpowering hunger, and must consume at least one quarter of a pound of food every minute or take psychic damage equal to your proficiency score. When the target begins their turn and they can sense food nearby, they must make a Wisdom saving throw to resist compulsively seeking it out and consuming it. Any substance that is even barely edible is counted as food this effect. Creatures that don't need food to survive (including creatures for whom eating is physically impossible) have advantage on their saving throws. On a success, the target is immune to this effect for the next 30 minutes.
Thirst. While cursed, the target suffers from overpowering thirst, and must drink at least one eighth of a liter of water every minute or take psychic damage equal to your proficiency score. When the target begins their turn and they can sense something to drink nearby, they must make a Wisdom saving throw to resist compulsively seeking it out and consuming it. Any liquid that is physically possible to consume is counted as drinkable for this effect. Creatures that don't need water to survive (including creatures for whom drinking is physically impossible) have advantage on their saving throws. On a success, the target is immune to this effect for the next 30 minutes.
A remove curse spell ends this effect.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours. If you use a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the duration is 24 hours. If you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the duration is one week. If you use spell slot of 8th level or higher, the spell lasts until it is dispelled. Using a spell slot of 6h level or higher grants a duration that doesn't require concentration.
