But I don't. Specifically because as far as I could tell you were trying to permanently kill my character with aging withers and then were a complete douche after you died.

Constructively, don't threaten people as a ghost. Especially not the person who just made you one...

I think one character ever got hit hard by it. You essentially need to eat a lot of attempts with near zero saves and still play 400+ hours. By and large few chars reach old age and most who fight shaman a lot gear for saves.

Right, Orb?

Orcs are somewhat vulnerable to wither aging. Low Wis translating to tougher saves, and a particularly short lifespan in pure years. I've lost an orc to it, myself, and could pull out a few more names as well.

I still maintain the ageing component should be removed.

Potential for - 25 str is enough. The potentially permanent lasting impact over the top that lasts your entire play time is not needed.

From a use point of view and I cant comment cause I didnt see the use. Tactically I would use wither all the time to cause when you land a good one not many people are keeping weapons.

But it only affects people who play to age death, so who cares.

Because I always perceive it as "trying to agedie me, asshole?"

Isnt the edge which adds -Dex & removes ageing pretty much every shaman now?

I've seen the ageing echo more than once and it certainly didn't add positive emotions :) Looking back I'm pretty sure it added to my perception of Deldrach for example.

Languor of the aeons.

Mid/highish cost edge. Worth it iirc. Whoever had that due rear scarab & muuuuuuuuuksube & a few others of note took it

Booooo urns.....
