Potion of Longevity

This Potion of Longevity, when consumed, grants the imbiber temporary extended lifespan, slowing down the aging process and promoting a sense of enduring vitality. The combination of timeless essences, celestial influences, and wisdom from the ages ensures a harmonious blend that captures the elusive secret of a longer life.

Rule:

When you drink this potion, your physical age is reduced by 1d6 + 6 years, to a minimum of 13 years. Each time you subsequently drink a potion of longevity, there is a 10 percent cumulative chance that you instead age by 1d6 +6 years. Suspended in this amber liquid are a scorpion's tail, an adder's fang, a dead spider, and a tiny heart that, against all reason, is still beating. The ingredients vanish when the potion is opened.
