This spell causes your victim to rapidly age approximately 60 years which will
cause their body to wither and wilt.  Their strength and dexterity are reduced
by 1 to 5 points and their current hit points are cut by 33% or <level> d10 +
<level> whichever is greater.  A successful save vs paralysis will still
inflict <level> d15 points of damage.  Undead are unaffected by this spell and
it can only be cast on a victim once.  The victim must be no more than 8
levels higher than the caster - this range improves by two for each noble
caster level.

Usage: wither <victim>
