Before the arguments come I'd like to point out that technically you can also do this with Polymorph Any Object to a degree, so think about that before commenting on it's power level.

Psychoportation and Psychometabolism
Level: Psion/wilder 8
Display: Olfactory and Visual
Manifesting Time: 1 minute

The being before you suddenly shudders and they appear to age in reverse, growing younger and younger...
You put a field of time around a living being, causing them to quickly grow younger and younger until they revert to their earliest stage (Outsiders and Elementals are not affected). This can be anything from an egg or newborn to a seed or spore, depending on the creature, and are helpless. If the target has been converted to another creature, such as a Skum, they revert back to whatever being they were born as. Dispelling brings them back to their form at the time of manifestation.
Their equipment and clothing and similar are not affected, simply falling off as the being reverts to a smaller size. The being has no memories of their life and their alignment reverts to neutrality unless the race begins with all the memories of their ancestors such as is the case of the Aboleths. In such a case ancestral knowledge and the race's standard alignment still applies.
This power can be dispelled after up to 1 day per HD of the target. Afterward the duration becomes Instantaneous and can no longer be dispelled or reversed short of Reality Revision, Wish, or Miracle. If the power is dispelled in some way the being reverts back to their age at the time of manifestation with their memories intact.
All wounds the being suffered is healed, though diseases, poisons and any powers or spells durations still remain in effect.
Even if the save is made the being is Shaken for 1 round.
