Withering

Component:

A jar of hundreds of old fingernails, each etched with the rune of decay

If cast on a living creature, the target suffers a Wound as a grave chill grips them.

• The target is afflicted with obvious signs of aging—grey hair, wrinkled skin, jaundiced eyes, liver spots— until this Wound is healed.

If cast on an undead creature, the target is not harmed but becomes more terrible.

• A zombie is transformed into a skeleton.

• A skeleton is transformed into a wraith.

If cast on an object, it shows obvious signs of decay.

• Food becomes rotten; chains become rusted; wood becomes moldy; stone is unaffected.

• The object takes a Notch. If 2 Resolve is spent on this spell, the object is Destroyed.
