Old Age: Lychantropos Amulet (N2, 10 Nature Gems) is a risky way to deal with Old Age. The item is cursed and permanenly occupys one misc slot. It has a random chance eacht turn to transform the mage into a random beast. It also give regeneration and gone berserk. Not good for battlemages, but good for forgers / researchers / site-searchers.
I managed to transform one lore-master into one skinshifter. The skinshifter still has the cursed amulet, but his old age value raised from 50 to 100 (playing pangea, early age, one grow scale). He has not lost his magic skills during the transformation.
