After answers here made me realize the mechanic was completely, obviously idiotic, I read it more closely, because I did not believe people intentionally write obviously idiotic rules. Indeed, failing the second save has a different effect: it does not apply the curse because the curse is already applied. It lasts 1m or until concentration breaks, just as it says. It simply adds another word/stack and the save is to prevent that. Try reading it very carefully, though I agree the wording is too vague for publication. | |

The other saving throws are just repetitions ("you may use your action to have the target attempt the Wisdom saving throw again."), thus are subject to the same conditions, as it is the same Saving Throw, and should also end the spell. That said, it does not make any sense that the duration is 10 rounds, as it will either deal damage in the first three rounds or end as soon as the target succeeds, so I suppose this was not intended by the asker. | |
