Life Extension (Wizard Spell)

With this spell, the caster can extend his maximum age beyond the maximum age created from the age tables. During the preparation time, the spell requires the caster to surround himself with the trappings of his youth. These might include clothing or equipment used as a youth, letters previously received or sent, soil from his homeland, tears shed by his mother, and so on. Collecting these may be very difficult, involving a long journey to the caster's homeland. This might even prove impossible if the caster is an orphan or has no traceable roots. When cast, this spell increases the caster's maximum age by a king's age: 77 years. Normal aging effects are not suffered for this period, but the period itself might be shortened by circumstances, by the caster's activities, or by magical and psionic effects. As the personal items used in this spell are destroyed, each casting becomes more difficult than the previous one.
Notes: Restricted to preservers and defilers, common.
Maximum Age
The maximum age potential of a character should be known only to the DM. The player might know the maximum base, but only the DM should know the exact year of death.
Availability of Personal Items: The DM may wish to randomly (and secretly) determine how many times the availability of personal items allow the casting of this spell. Recommended limits are 1d4 to 1d6+1 times, but the player should not be aware of the character's limit until it is tested.
