[It takes him a while to respond--he has to try to work out the necessary formulas and other complex scholarly mage junk.]
I'm afraid this is well outside my area of expertise; power of this nature, if it is a form of magic, would fall under the category of dark magic or, more specifically, curses.
If I assume that it conforms to the rules and constraints of magic that I'm familiar with, then stealing years from some of us and giving those years to others would 'condense' the spell, in a sense. It would still be utterly impossible for any mortal to cast it.
...Of course, I suppose the heavens are rather lacking in mortals.
