===Severe Aging===
4 XP.
''Those you age with your Accursed Touch become frail and decrepit.''

Anyone who takes damage from your Accursed Touch ability becomes weaker, aging significantly. This comes in two forms: temporary aging, and permanent aging.
*Temporary Aging: Whenever you drain Vitality with your Accursed Touch, the target makes a single Endure check. On a success, they suffer no further harm. On a failure, however, they suffer the temporary penalties given by each Severe Aging progression you have. All penalties go away 1 minute after the last one took effect. Temporary penalties stack with themselves. These TACKS penalties can not reduce an attribute below 1.
*Permanent Aging: When you reduce a target below half of their normal Vitality, they automatically suffer these effects. These effects cannot be removed until they have recovered Vitality equal to their normal Vitality [5 + Spirit + Toughness].

When you take Severe Aging, you get 5 XP to spend on progressions.  Non-Liberi recover Vitality at a rate of [Spirit] points per day, up to their normal Vitality.
