Age to Destruction

If played in a game with Chronomancy as a school of magic this spell also counts as a Chronomancy spell.

With this spell, the caster can age any nonliving material (of a maximum volume of 5 cubic feet) by about 100 years.

An object affected by the spell suffers the ravages of a hundred years of aging, on the inside. On the outside it appears normal, but a little more weathered than before. Stone items are affected very little, but wood rots, metal rusts or corrodes through, and other materials suffer similar results. The next time an object affected by this spell is picked up or otherwise used, it crumbles into ruin. If the object is already under strain when the spell is cast on it, it gives way immediately.

This spell allows a spellcaster to sabotage crucial objects or pieces of equipment: a ladder rung, a wooden step, the sword of an enemy, etc. A fleeing caster can use this spell to drop a portcullis, booby trap a stairway he has just descended, or destroy a weapon about to be wielded against him. The spell does not affect living creatures.

If cast on a potion of longevity, the spell permanently renders the potion useless.

If cast at higher levels, the volume of the object affected increases by 5 cubic feet for each spell slot above 3rd.
