By means of this spell, the caster can increase his or her lifespan beyond its normal limit. When the spell is cast, the shukenja must make a successful system shock roll for the spell to have effect. If the roll is failed, the shukenja dies. If successful, the spell increases the lifespan of the shukenja by 2d10
the increase in lifespan. For example, a shukenja who through this spell increased his age to 120 years would have the appearance of a spry man of 80 at the end of his life. This spell can be cost multiple times; there is no limit to the number of years the shukenja can add to his or her life. However, the system shock roll must be made each time the spell is cast.
The material components for this spell are a bowl of fresh peaches and an offering to the shukenja's deity worth at least 100 chi'en (500 gp).
Notes: Common for oriental priests; otherwise, very rare.
