Bane of Yondalla – Halfling

Bane of Yondalla is similar in effect to a strike by a staff of withering. A target creature that fails a saving throw vs. spell suffers the full effects. A creature afflicted by the bane of Yondalla suffers 1d4+1 points of damage and ages by 10% of its natural lifespan, with the corresponding adjustments to its abilities and lifespan. If the caster is 11th level or higher, one of the creature's limbs shrivels and becomes useless. (Roll randomly for which limb is struck, unless the priest makes a called shot against a specific limb; the head is not considered a limb.)

Ageless creatures (undead, tanar'ri, baatezu, etc.) cannot be aged or withered. Aging a dwarf is of little effect, while aging a one hundred ninety-year-old dragon (see the Monstrous Manual™) or a forty-four-year-old human wizard (see Table 12 in the Player's Handbook) could actually aid the target.

The material components of this spell are the priest's holy symbol and a desiccated vine of some variety. Only the latter is consumed in the casting of the spell.
