You target a creature you can see within range, putting its physical form through the devastation of rapid aging. The target must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 10d12 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the save fails, the target also ages to the point where it has only 30 days left before it dies of old age. In this aged state, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws, and its walking speed is halved. Only the wish spell or the greater restoration cast with a 9th-level spell slot can end these effects and restore the target to its previous age.

Spells similar to Time Ravage
Disintegrate 6th-level transmutation
Its save-for-big-damage structure and ability to erase a creature from the fight make it a strong parallel.
Finger of Death 7th-level necromancy
Both are high-level necromancy spells that punish one creature hard with an immediate burst of necrotic power.
Harm 6th-level necromancy
This also hammers a single enemy with necrotic damage and a brutal, life-draining feel.
Power Word Kill 9th-level enchantment
It is the closest in level and battlefield purpose, delivering a terrifying single-target finisher in one cast.
Blight 4th-level necromancy
Like Time Ravage, it uses necrotic energy to cripple one target with a Constitution save.
