DESCRIPTION

A howling wind blows between you and a target within range, rapidly aging it.

The target receives two Fortitude saves. If both saves succeed, the target is unaffected, and the spell is wasted.

If only one succeeds, the target ages by one category, and it permanently loses 1 Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution point. If both saving throws fail, the target ages one category and suffers the mentioned ability damage; additionally, the caster gains 20 temporary hp and permanently gains 1 of the 3 lost ability points chosen at random as an inherent bonus.

If this spell is cast on an undead creature, the caster loses 1 point of Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution permanently, and the undead gains 20 temporary hp. If the caster is undead, it receives a Fortitude save to avoid losing ability score points.
