(Trying to fix the spell list page - lots of save types are missing. (https://bg3.wiki/wiki/List_of_3rd_level_spells) I now see this is database driven and it's unclear where the page data come from, so my objective with this change was to make the Bestow Curse page more like the Slow page, because Slow correctly displays the save on the list page but Bestow Curse doesn't.)
