Preservation

Preservation Mystic Proficiency [Knowledge] 200 hours

A highly useful spell—one known by necromancers, alchemists, and those making canned goods—Preservation can keep something from decaying for far longer than what nature would normally allow. The rotting process is not stopped, merely slowed for the duration of the spell; the affected material is not otherwise altered by this ritual. To determine how effective this spell is, subtract 15 from the skill check, the result is the multiplier for the decay rate. That is, if a 17 is rolled on the skill check for this spell, the targeted material will last for twice as long, since 17-15=2. If the skill check was an 18, it would last three times as long; a 19 roll, four times, et cetera.
