School: Chronomancy (Transmutation)
(Intended for use with the Chronomancer subclass)
Duration: Determined by caster: up to 10 minutes / level, or up to 20 minutes / level if reversed
Area of Effect: 100 sq ft / level

Age Plant:
When this spell is cast, it manipulates time to accelerate the aging of plants. This does not allow them to grow beyond their maximum natural size. The area of effect is up to a maximum of 100 square feet per caster's level, and the spell can affect all plant life or be limited to affect only one category (eg. "trees") or one species (eg. "wheat") of plant in that area. The caster can accelerate the growth of plant life by up to one month per level. The actual amount of aging (to the nearst week) must be decided before the spell is cast. Aging occurs at a rate of 1 month of aging every 10 minutes of time passed. If the normal cycle of the plant is exceeded (for a seasonal crop or biannual flower), the plant life withers and dies. This spell is particularly useful when early winters or harsh summers threaten crop yields.

A material component is necessary only if the caster wishes to affect a single category or species of plant. A sample of that plant type is then required.

Rewind Plant:
The reverse of this spell, Rewind Plant, cannot bring back plants that have completely died. It can reverse the aging of live plants by up to one month per level of the caster, the total age rewound being set before the spell is cast. Reverse aging occurs at a rate of 1 month of de-aging every 20 minutes of time passed. A popular use of this form is to get second harvests, but this can only be done with plants that persist year round (fruit trees, berry bushes).

The same rules on material components apply.

Based on the 2e AD&D spell Accelerate Plant Growth, from the Chronomancer suppliment (TSR 9506).
