If the target is successfully hit with decay then the unit will age 5 years for each turn which lasts about 12 turns. I'm sure someone will know the exact number of turns. This aging will kill most recruitable units by the end of battle, yet undead and some other summons are usually not harmed since their lifespans are significantly longer.
