Preserve from Decay (Wizard Spell)

By use of the preserve from decay spell, the caster can halt the decay (including shelf ripen­ing) of any non-living matter. Food or drink must first be placed in a closed container of some kind. The preserve from decay spell is broken when the container is opened. For material other than foodstuffs, the spell runs its full duration unless dispelled by some other means.
The material component required is a small vial of salt, sealed with wax.
The reverse of this spell, decay, causes imme­diate decay equal to one month per level of the chronomancer. The material component re­quired is a pinch of dung or mold.
Notes: Restricted to chronomancers, common.
