DESCRIPTION
The target gains your oracle’s curse, both benefits and hindrances. In some cases, the benefits have no effect (for example, a fighter with your haunted curse can’t cast spells and doesn’t gain any benefit from having additional spells known), but they still suffer the hindrances of the curse.
You still suffer all effects of your oracle’s curse.
If you do not have the oracle’s curse class feature, this spell has no effect.
~~~~~
I wanted a spell in-between Oracle’s Burden and Oracle’s Vessel, that does both, thus inflicting an Oracle’s Curse in its entirety. Since Oracle’s Vessel (the benefits but no hindrances one) is level 4, and Oracle’s Burden (the opposite) is level 2, I figured it would be treated as a weaker version of Oracle’s Vessel, due to having Oracle’s Burden tacked on, and thus be level 3.
However, I’m unsure on a few things.
1: The school. Transmutation (Vessel) or Nercromancy (Burden).
2: Whether or not it should have the Curse descriptor. It is inflicting an Oracle’s Curse in its entirety, but it is mostly doing good, especially at higher levels.
3: Same reasoning as above, but whether it should be treated as harmless or not for the Save and Spell Resistance.
4: Finally, the Range. I think it should be Close, like Vessel, since it is a weaker version of that spell, but you could make the argument that it is a weaker version of Burden, so it should have Medium Range, like Burden.
