Resplendence of Renewed Youth

This spell allows a creature to tap into its spiritual strength in order to bring its body back to the peak strength of youth for one year. In a human, this would mean that the affected body would return to the shape it had when the recipient was around 25 years of age. Recipients of this spell lose all the negative aspects of old age, such as lost hit points, levels, or ability score points, and so on, as well as gaining immunity to all diseases for the duration of the spell only.

This spell functions only on characters who have shown exceptional wisdom and piety during their lives, and then only if they have an exceptional focus that their current condition prevents them from completing. Casting a quest spell is thus mandatory before attempting this spell. Dropping this quest means forfeiting all advantages of the resplendence spell.

Characters can benefit from this spell only once in a lifetime. When the spell expires, the recipient's body returns to the state it would have normally for its years. The spell heavily drains the body of the recipient, and so adds an additional 1d10+3 years to the recipient's true age when it expires.

This spell is one of the secrets of the church of Tyr and is used sparingly, only when it needs the help of a great hero in dire circumstances. It is rumored that the church of Sune has many times tried to learn the secret of this spell.
