You or a creature you touch become physically younger or older, your choice. A willing target becomes up to 10 years younger or 20 years older. An unwilling target, after a successful touch attack, becomes 1d10 years younger or 1d20 years older, your choice.
A target whose age is increased loses the corresponding amount of time from their maximum life span. A target whose age is decreased retains their pre-existing life span.
Example: you choose to make the party's human fighter, Rothgar, younger to add a little spring to his step. His age decreases from 45 to 35. However, he will only live an additional 30 years as the DM rules is lifespan prior to the spell was 75. You later use the spell to attack the aged human wizard Throndar. You succeed on the magical touch attack, and age Throndar by 14 years. Throndar was originally 67 years old, and the DM rules that Throndar's maximum lifespan would have been 75. Accordingly, Throndar is instantly killed by the spell.
