The reverse of [[Age Creature]] spell, Restore Youth, permanently restores age that has been lost as a result of magic in which aging is the primary effect, such as an [[Age Creature]] spell, *staff of withering*, and attacks by [[Ghost]]. It does not reverse incidental aging effects, such as those inflicted by casting a [[Wish]] or receiving a [[Haste]] spell. Restore youth reduces the creature’s age by one year per level of the caster. The creature must make a successful system shock roll to survive the change, Creatures that become younger regain the lost ability scores described above. A creature cannot become younger than its actual age as a result of this spell.
The material component is a pinch of powdered ruby.
Notes: Common for to priests with major access to the sphere of Time
