Ages a creature of animal intelligence (1) by up to one month per caster level (decided before the spell is cast). After being affected by the spell, the creature must make a System Shock roll at 85% +1%/Hit Die (maximum 95%) or die within 1d4 rounds. If they survive, aging takes 1 turn per month, during which time the animal's actions are halved (its attack bonus is halved, its number of attacks is halved, its speed is halved, etc.).
