Factors: Render subject immune to the passage of time (+18); render subject immune to aging effects (+18); permanent (x5). Mitigating Factors: Increase casting time by 10 minutes (-20); 15 additional casters contributing a 7th level spell slot (-195); burn 10,000 XP (-100).   This spell, when cast, alters the subject's appearance so that he appears youthful and healthy (anywhere between 17-35 for humans, or an equivalent age for other races). The subject is rendered immune to all forms of aging, both natural and magical, including the effects of monsters.  Casting this spell requires the participation of 15 additional casters,each of whom must contribute a 7th level slot to the spell.  - - -  This version of the spell could be cast by a 30th level wizard, assuming he had the help of those 15 additional casters.    The casting time of 10 minutes would make it more feasible to actually cast the spell, too.  In an epic world, where a great college of wizardry existed, I would not find it too hard to accept a college where 15 wizards of 13th level or higher existed.  And since they are sharing magical knowledge anyways (normally unthinkable for wizards, but colleges are the exception) it is not too hard to imagine they would combine their powers to grant immortality to one of their own.  And if the 30th level wizard could grant immortality to himself, why not grant it to everyone else who helped him?  They would likely ask for this - or for some favor - in return for helping the high mage.  Thus, we have created the College of Eternal Youth!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
