Renewed Youth (Priest Spell)

This spell temporarily restores a middle-aged or older recipient to the peak of physical health enjoyed in his or her prime. The spell temporarily reverses penalties to ability scores due to aging, as detailed in the Player's Handbook. For example, a 250-year-old elf would temporarily receive a +3 bonus to Strength, a +2 bonus to Dexterity, and a +1 bonus to Constitution by this spell, but would not suffer a corresponding penalty to Intelligence or Wisdom. Willing recipients can forego the saving throw. The spell has no effect on dragons, extraplanar creatures, or conjured beings.
While this spell does not ameliorate any damage suffered, it might increase the recipient's tolerance for pain. If a temporary boost in Constitution results in increased hit points (due to a mod­ified hit point adjustment), those hit points are lost first, as with the 2nd level priest spell aid.
The material components are the priest's holy symbol and a freshly cut (or magically preserved) flower.
The reversed form, weight of years, temporar­ily ages the recipient. The priest must touch the target creature. A caster of 5th level can inflict the penalties of middle age if the target creature fails a saving throw vs. spell. A caster of 6th to 13th level can inflict the penalties of old age, and a 14th level or higher caster can inflict the penalties of venera­ble age. The caster can inflict the penalties of a lesser age if desired. The temporary aging cannot force a creature to die of old age, nor can it relieve the penalties of the creature's current age. It has no effect on dragons, extraplanar creatures, or con­jured beings.
The material components are the priest's holy symbol and a crushed, dried flower petal or a shriveled, dried fruit.
Notes: Granted by the elven deity Labelas Enoreth.
