I'm trying to figure out what would be a good level for "until these words chiseled in stone are gone."

For example, for a curse carved into an Egyptian tomb.

So on the one hand, that can plausibly last centuries. On the other, it only takes an idiot with a rock to destroy it.

~ Some other examples:
"...until I, the caster, die."
"...until you drink alcohol again."
"...until you touch her again."
"...until you say [word] again."
I've ruled it as 13 in my campaigns.
