This spell allows the caster to cause any dragon to temporarily gain or lose one age level per 5 levels of the caster. A mature adult dragon could become a very old dragon, for example. A dragon’s age cannot be reduced below hatchling or increased beyond great wyrm. Unwilling dragons are allowed a Will saving throw to avoid the effect but at a -4 penalty.
A dragon affected by Age Dragon temporarily acquires all aspects of a dragon of the age, such as AC, hit points, spell abilities, combat modifiers, and so forth. A dragon made younger would lose AC, spell abilities, combat modifiers, etc., but it retains its hit points, memories, and personality. At the end of the spell’s duration, the dragon returns to his normal age. If the dragon suffered damage while experiencing its modified age, these hit poitns remain lost when normal age resumes. If the dragon loses more hit points at his modified age thna his actual age, it dies when the spell ends. A dragon killed while experiencing its modified age remains dead when the spell ends.
Material Component: a handful of dirt taken from a dragon’s footprint.This spell was originally from the 2e Tome of Magic
