This devilishly cruel spell drains life from a victim to make the caster younger.

The spell must be cast under a full moon and the target must be within sight and
hearing of the caster. For the spell to take effect the caster must win an opposed
POW roll with the target: if successful, the target begins to age and decay, with
their innate life and vitality being consumed by the caster.
On each round after the spell is cast, the target loses 1D10 points each of STR,
CON, DEX, POW, and APP.
For each characteristic point drained from the target, he caster becomes a day
younger. For example, if the spell leeches a total of 40 points from the target’s
characteristics, the caster would become 40 days younger. Meanwhile, the target
withers; flesh turns grey and begins to flakes away until, at the full conclusion
of the spell, the target has become a horrid dry husk (calling for Sanity rolls
from witnesses for 1/1D6 loss). The caster may choose to end the spell at any point
before the target dies—the victim’s apparent condition obviously worse the longer
the spell continues (pale skin, paper-like skin, withered and gnarled limbs, and so
on). If the caster is slain before the target dies, the spell is revoked and the
target’s lost characteristic points immediately return to him or her.

Deeper magic: this spell may be cast at times other than on a full moon. In such an
event, the caster does not gain the benefits of restored youth, but the victim
still suffers
and dies if the caster so chooses. If the spell is cast under a Hunter’s Moon (the
full moon following the autumnal equinox), the caster is able to leech the full
maximum of
10 characteristic points per round (rather than roll 1D10) from STR, CON, DEX, POW,
and APP.
A variant of this spell allows the caster to turn the characteristic points drained
directly into POW points (1 POW point per 5 characteristic points drained).
