This is a PF1 rules question, but is pretty specific to PFS (since I don't know of any standard way of this happening outside PFS).
My witch has a familiar that is a true wyrmling dragon (available from a chronicle). If my witch was to cast the Threefold Aspect spell, and share it to the familiar via Share Spells, would the familiar gain any other effects than ability score changes?
The description of the spell itself says it changes the caster to an 'idealised version' of herself. It says the ability score changes for aging get replaced by those in the spell. However, a true dragon changes much more than ability scores when aging. Size changes, and just about everything else the dragon does changes based on the size.
The spell is a Transmutation spell, rather than an Illusion spell, so the form can actually change.
Does the answer change for other aging spells, such as Sands of Time or False Age?

I think the standard answer to this is the same as how other polymorph spells work, and druid wild shape - the spell/ability does what it says it does, and no more. It might seem it /should/, and in a homegame a GM can explore the implications of specific cases, but for PFS, all it's going to do is give the specific changes in the spell, and not anything that would come conceptually with those age categories for a dragon.
To be honest, I am now VERY tempted to take that spell back to my Reign of Winter home game and see if I can't make my players go 'da wha?!?...'
