Sometimes, powers are free. Sometimes, they have a price. There is a kind of price which is not paid immediately on screen (i.e., Heroic RRoD/Villainous RRoD or body damage).
Your lifespan.
Sure, you can warp reality or heal your wounds instantly, but never forget that each time you use your power, you come closer and closer to your coffin, and there is nothing that you can do about it.
The price can be paid in different ways, and for a number of reasons:
It may be part of a Deal with the Devil, with a set upfront cost- say, ten years of life for a spell to wipe out that army.
Each use may literally cost a set price in hours, days, or years.
It may be an inherent side effect of a power like a Healing Factor.note Say, faster cell division makes them heal faster, but shortens their lifespan and makes them age faster thanks to the Hayflick Limit.
Equivalent Exchange and Liquid Assets may allow magic and age-related Life Energy to be used interchangeably.
The long-term consequences of a Deadly Upgrade might be taking a silent toll.
Using their powers might accelerate Power Degeneration or The Corruption.
Their Fuel Meter of Power might also be powering that life support system keeping them alive (and reactor-grade Unobtainium isn't easy to come by.) A Pure Magic Being or Energy Being may face similar problems.
If you have such a power, you either are Blessed with Suck or can use it as a Dangerous Forbidden Technique.
Actual consequences may be shown on screen for a Downer Ending if the power belongs to a main character, or a Tear Jerker if it's secondary. The main appeal of this trope for writers, however, is that it gives a way to put a very real Drama-Preserving Handicap onto various abilities, without Cast from Hit Points' issues of hindering the character in the short term. Those years come off the end of the character's life, after all, and after the story is over they can drop dead whenever it is convenient to do so. Because of this, it can often become an Informed Flaw, as it's hard to tell if a character's lifespan actually got shortened if the side effects only kick in twenty years later.
Subtrope to Cast from Hit Points, with the difference being that that trope allows life energy to be recovered over time. Compare Rapid Aging as a side effect of some versions of Cast From Lifespan. While less squicky and immediately harmful than Blood Magic, magic Cast From Lifespan can be more dangerous in the long-term and has even worse ethical ramifications if you aren't paying the price yourself. A revive spell that is also this will likely fall into Sacrificial Revival Spell. The existence of this trope in a magic system tends to be detrimental to the trend that Wizards Live Longer.

Mozenrath from Aladdin: The Series sacrificed two things for his magical gauntlet. The immediate price was the flesh from his right hand. In the last episode starring him as the villain, it's revealed that it also drained his life force, and he doesn't have much longer to live. He tries and nearly succeeds in performing a Grand Theft Me on Aladdin in a bid to cheat death, and is last seen floating away in a balloon conjured by Genie without his gauntlet.

Scion in Worm, not that it makes a difference given how much he has to work with and how strong even his basic powers are. The only ability he has that takes off a significant lifespan chunk is Contessa's "Path to Victory" power, which is such a Story-Breaker Power that his entire arsenal pales in comparison, but is implied to take millennia off his lifespan. It says a lot that he uses it exactly once in the entire story.

The idea of life sources powering magic features in The Gotham Knights of Middle-Earth; after Tim Drake and Cassandra Cain have been trapped in Middle-Earth for a few months, Raven is able to open a portal to retrieve them by drawing on the life energy of those close to Tim and Cass. However, since she was drawing on the energies of the rest of the Bat-Family and the Teen Titans, as well as additional assistance from Doctor Fate and Zatanna, Raven didn’t drain enough energy from anyone for it to have a serious impact on their health.

Both Starbrand & Nightmasknote the former as of The Avengers (Jason Aaron) have this. In the former case, it's an unusual variant in that he actually gets younger every time he uses his powers, thanks to the universe being "broken" in the run-up to Secret Wars (2015). In the latter case, it's implied that Starbrands burn out at a rate dependent on how much of their power they use — so, a standard fight won't do much, but a massive energy blast designed to counter potential planet busting Ghost Rider bombs will turn the current Starbrand from bratty child to young woman in one fell swoop.

Angel Mage: This is how angelic magic works. For low-ranking seraphim or cherubim, calling on one will take off a few hours, but the principalities and archangels take off years. High-ranking mages like the Cardinals always look a couple decades older than they actually are. The sole exception averts this through having consumed a number of lesser angels to make herself ageless.

Dragon Age:
Darkspawn's blood is poisonous, and Grey Wardens drink it, so if you managed to survive the Joining, you've got no more than 30 years to live. Dragon Age II: Legacy reveals that it's actually much worse than mere poison. Ingesting Darkspawn blood always leads to either death or becoming a ghoul. The Wardens' version, if it doesn't kill the recipient immediately, merely delays the transformation by a few decades. Surviving the Joining means you will one day become a willing slave to the Darkspawn.
Wynne is dead. She was brought to life by a spirit of the Fade, and using her Spirit Vessel ability shortens her lifespan each time. She doesn't seem to care, though, because she is already very old and her bonus lifespan is going to be short.
Dragon Age II applies this to a stat-boost. The Elixir of Heroism ages the drinker, "but with age comes wisdom" — you apparently get the experience of fights you would have had in that time, without the trouble of actually doing it.

X-Men:
The Phoenix Force derives its power from the reserve of life energy left for new generations. So anytime someone uses the phoenix power they're reducing the capacity for a baby to be born in the future. Since the Phoenix's primary activity seems to be destroying planets at "evolutionary dead-ends" this might even out.
Sunspot's power allows him to absorb energy from the sun and turn it into Super-Strength, flight, or energy beams. Then he contracted the M-Pox sickness, which sent his powers haywire: he can still use them, but he absorbs so much energy that it takes a huge tax on his body and chafes a few years off his lifespan (which is first shown with a streak of his hair turning white prematurely).
In the alternate-continuity comic X-Men Forever, the more a mutant uses his powers, the shorter their lifespan becomes. That is why there are so few old mutants. Not explained is how this can be reconciled with explicitly immortal mutants like Apocalypse... who also uses his powers a lot.

The Dragon Doctors has two examples:
One chapter deals with a horrible curse that prevents a lost soul from moving on to the afterlife; the price for this terrible curse is that while the soul is unable to rest, neither is the caster — she is unable to sleep, suffers from a continuous burning sensation in the back of her mind, and ages at about double speed. Worse, the wording in the spellbook is so vague that the caster didn't even know it was a curse in the first place.
More traditionally: after Tanica learns some basic healing magic that she can't summon enough magical power to cast, she ends up tearing out her own life essence to fuel the spell when Goro collapses at her feet and she has no way of summoning help.

Fire Emblem:
Fire Emblem Fates has Azura, who possesses a magic pendant that lets her use Magic Music. However, the pendant's powers have been slowly killing her ever since she started using them. This leads to her dying in two of the three paths of the game.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses:
Lysithea and Edelgard have two Crests due to experiments carried out by Those Who Slither in the Dark, which grant them incredible magical power and strength respectively. However, their lifespans are drastically reduced as the body simply can't handle that much power. In several of their endings they manage to find a way to remove the extra Crests and in doing so reclaim their lost time, but in others, they do indeed die young.
While having a compatible Crest allows one to use a Hero's Relic without turning into a Demonic Beast, they still shorten the wielder's lifespan. Catherine refuses to wield her Relic Thunderbrand as a demonstration for Linhardt, stating that "Every time I use it, it wears away at my soul."
Fire Emblem Engage has this rule apply to draconic magic used by Divine and Mage Dragons. Lumera, the Divine Dragon, expends much of her power to heal her child Alear's wounds as Alear sleeps for 1,000 years, and expending so much of her power helps cause her death early on in the game. Similarly, Zephia gives the last of her life to make a magical artifact to aid the heroes.

Mages from the Mithgar books age rapidly when using their magic, though they can enter a trance-like state to regain their youth (this also allows them to be functionally immortal, as long as they don't over-exert themselves). Black Mages have a way around this by basically becoming psychic vampires, drawing on the fear and misery of others instead of their own lives.

Miraculous Ladybug: The damaged Peacock Miraculous grants great power but at the cost of taking a physical toll on the wearer that gets worse with each use. Nathalie pays a great price for her tenure as Mayura and isn't healed by giving it up, or even by the miraculous later being repaired. It's long hinted, and then eventually stated, that using it in the past is what happened to Adrien's mom.

D.Gray-Man:
The parasitic-type exorcist suffers this because their weapon is fused with their organism. So every time they fight, this uses their life energy and reduces their lifespan.
Kanda's regeneration ability similarly uses his lifespan. As well as the upper illusions of his innocence that directly convert his lifespan in power. The fifth illusion is said to "sublimate his soul".

Naruto:
Tsunade's and Naruto's healing factor makes them age faster. Technically, they both involve making their cells regenerate faster, but since cells only have a limited number of regenerations, this means they will run out of regenerative cycles and start dying of old age sooner. As a result, Tsunade uses her Healing Factor only when not using it would shorten her lifespan rather more suddenly. And since Naruto is an Uzumaki, "sooner" for him likely involves being well over 70.
Pain's most powerful attacks are also cast from lifespan. He ends up expending all of it and dying by resurrecting the people of the village he just destroyed.
This isn't as much of a problem for Naruto or Nagato, since the Uzumaki clan have very long natural lifespans.
Tsunade herself is 1/4 Uzumaki, but when she lets down her youthful appearance genjutsu, she looks much older than her mid-50's, suggesting that she has been using her healing factor or other Cast From Life Span techniques to the point of aging faster even with the Uzumaki blood. How long a pure-blood Uzumaki could live is not actually stated, though it was enough to get them dubbed, "The Clan of Longevity". This turns out to be an Informed Flaw in Tsunade's case; she's still shown to be alive in the series' epilogue when she'd be around 70 years old, and there's no indication that she's in poor health.

The Outer Limits (1995):
"Blood Brothers" features a serum that seems to cure all ills, like the Fountain of Youth. Too late, the antagonist discovers that instead of simply giving you a new lease of life, it uses up all your Life Energy in a short burst, followed by Rapid Aging and death.
"In the Zone" has an experimental treatment that can give a person Super-Speed, but the person ages the more they use it.

The Flash:
In one popular version of Barry Allen's origin (the retelling in Secret Origins Annual #2), the lightning bolt that gives him his powers actually speaks, offering him the choice of whether to accept. It warns him that his life will be shorter if he does. (How does it know? Because it's Barry himself, at another point in the closed electrical/temporal circuit of his life.)
Flash's successor, Wally West, once had to heal from repeated lightning bolts cast down upon him by Kadabra, he did this by speeding up his body's natural healing process so quickly he basically aged himself a couple of years.

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed once used his own soul as a Philosopher's Stone, a huge energy source, itself made of souls, to heal himself from mortal wounds, shortening his lifespan in the process. Bleeding out from a massive abdominal wound would of course have shortened his lifespan a lot faster, so it seems like a good trade-off... except that one of Ed's new allies finds an actual Philosopher's Stone 30 feet away not 5 minutes later. Given Ed's opinion of the Philosopher's Stone creation process, it's unlikely he would've used it even if they'd found it sooner.

Attempted in 8-Bit Theater. Red Mage casts several Haste spells on a bone dragon in the hopes that its lifespan will be greatly accelerated until it dies... even though he knows it doesn't work that way, he just wanted to see if it could work. You honestly can't blame Black Mage for trying to shank him right after.

Dragon Ball:
In addition to being Cast from Hit Points, the Tri-Beam is stated on its first use to shorten your lifespan even if it doesn't kill you. This is then completely forgotten about, as within ten episodes Tien feels free to use it for such mundane tasks as clearing a large amount of ice to find a Dragon Ball faster.
In Dragon Ball, every time King Piccolo spawns one of his sons, it drains his life force. He loses this weakness after wishing to have his youth restored.
An interesting variant occurs in the Buu saga of Dragon Ball Z: Goku is already dead, but has been allowed to return to the world of the living for 24 hours so he can spend the day with his friends and family. During the battle with Buu that begins on that day, Goku transforms into the new Super Saiyan 3 form... which is such a massive energy drain that it burns through all of Goku's allotted time on Earth, forcing him to return to Other World early.
Dragon Ball Super has Granolah, in a thirst for revenge, steal a set of weaker Dragon Balls in an attempt to wish to be the strongest in the universe. While the dragon isn't powerful enough to just create that much power for free, it does suggest the next best thing; by reducing Granolah's lifespan, he can immediately acquire all the strength he could have acquired in that time. Granolah agrees to these terms and trades 150 years of his life, giving him 3 years left to live. In response, the Heeters use the Dragon Balls themselves to use the exact same wish to make Gas even stronger. It turns out to take so much of his lifespan to accomplish that he starts dying of old age within hours.

Vash from Trigun has various inhuman powers including the hilariously powerful Angel Arm which can put a huge crater in the moon with only a single shot. Too bad every use of his powers costs him a portion of his lifespan as measured by the color of his hair: human-form Plants start out as blonde with their hair darkening as their internal power is spent. If it turns fully black, they die. By the time Knives is defeated in the manga, Vash's hair is almost completely black. And this is after we're told that Vash could easily use his powers to regenerate all the scars◊ his body bears but chooses not to. He most likely knows this trope is in effect and doesn't use his powers for trivial purposes (as well as invoking Be All My Sins Remembered by retaining them).

Supernatural has two instances of this:
A Deal with the Devil usually includes selling your soul after a fixed amount of time (effectively reducing your lifespan to that amount).
"The Curious Case of Dean Winchester" involves a magic user who plays poker with people, and the chips represent years of his life. If he wins, he gets 25 years back, but if he loses, he ages 25 years. He does this so that he and his girlfriend can be immortal. He isn't all bad, though (as he keeps telling everyone). Notably, he deliberately folds to let an old man see his grandson grow up.

Final Fantasy XIV:
Sylphie is a Conjurer who is gifted in healing magic. However, because she refuses to learn about nature, and thus cannot draw upon the boundless energy of the world itself, her healing magic is instead cast from her own life force, in effect shortening her lifespan significantly. It's also revealed that this was how her mother died.
After the events of A Realm Reborn, it turns out that Y'shtola was trapped in the Lifestream. While it seems at first that the rescue effort has gone off without any more hitches than usual, it turns out that she's slowly being drained of Aether — and was furthermore blinded, so every time she tries to cast magic or even see, she's bringing herself closer to death.
Alisaie Took a Level in Badass by summoning a sword of light and taking up a Gladiator class style. However, because the weapon is made of aether, it ran the risk of doing this trope towards Alisaie had she tried to cast spells. Because of this, Urianger creates a special rapier and focus for her, shifting her to the Red Mage job, ultimately subverting this trope.
The Black Mage job has the Convert ability that sacrifices some of the user's HP in exchange for restoring a bit of MP. If the player's HP is too low, the skill can't be used.
With the release of Endwalker, Convert was changed to Manafont, which removed the HP cost.

In the Triptych Continuum, this can potentially be done by every single pony in Equestria. If the need is truly there and there's no other way out, any pony can choose to put the last of themselves into their magic, trading their existence for a closing surge of strength. This final burst of energy can be directed into any magic the pony has, including racial abilities and their mark talent. The event is extremely rare, frequently spectacular in what it can achieve — and invariably fatal.

In Clockstoppers, a Hypertime watch works by rendering someone's molecules into a hyper-accelerated state, allowing them to perceive the world as if time is standing still. Unfortunately, this eventually causes users to suffer from rapid aging as a side-effect. The villains plan to counteract this is to kidnap scientists and force them to work on a de-aging device. As extra incentive to succeed, they're forced to work on this device whilst in Hypertime.

Exalted:
The Goddess of Lookshy Tien Yu's most powerful attack, Lance of a Fallen Era, shortens the lifespan of the city of Lookshy by a number of days equal to the damage it does. This makes perfect sense when you consider that Lookshy fields the Gunzosha commandos. Gunzosha power armor is one of the few artifacts in the entire game line that can be used by non-Essence users — at the cost of a year of your life for every twenty minutes of use. This can be mitigated by having aegis-insert amulets surgically implanted, allowing a commando to use his armor free of charge... but the amulets themselves cause you to age twice as fast as normal.
Before errata, Sidereals had Burn Life, a Charm that empowered their body at the expense of a few days or weeks. Given that their 5000-year lifespan has so many days and weeks in it that burning a few was pretty much meaningless, the Siderrata cut the entirely toothless disadvantage and just made it permanently online at no cost.

At the beginning of Spawn, every time Spawn used one of his powers, he was closer to dying and going back to hell and the reader was constantly reminded of this at first by the appearance of his power bar. After a while, the power bar appeared less and less, until the creators seemed to forget about it altogether. Recently, having lost the throne of Hell (and the unlimited power it maintains), Spawn has limited power again, cued by the reappearance of the power bar.

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: Used in a particularly barmy (probably Italiannote This is based on the Finnish translation, but since those particular translations are pretty decent, it can't have made any more sense to begin with. Less is possible.) Scrooge McDuck story. Let's see... Scrooge finds out that if you travel to the centre of the Earth (beware the giant snails!), you'll find a smaller Earth whence all time originates, and there the keepers of time can give you the key to time, which enables you to operate on all time zones at once. (No one knows what that's supposed to mean, not even after he starts doing it, but it's the key to making boatloads of money.) But they also give him twenty-four negative briefcases. Those vanish, but they're still with him, much like the key is never shown to be an item but just is in his pocket. Anywho, it turns out that in doing whatever he's doing with the "key", he's also consuming his own time twenty-four times faster. Not that it's very relevant since very shortly he would have been crushed by the weight of the briefcases anyway, whatever that means. Um. Got it?

The Stormlight Archive features Soulcasters, magical artifacts able to transmute materials into other, specific materials. This includes Mundane Utility like turning rocks into grain, or building an object out of wood and then transmuting it to iron, and also has limited application in combat — in one scene, a Soulcaster is used to turn a group of assailants into fire, killing them instantly. Each Soulcaster is able to transmute materials into one to three substances, depending on the device. The Soulcasters are treated as holy relics, with only specific members of the priesthood allowed to use them. It turns out that this is because extended use of a Soulcaster will slowly turn the user's flesh into the substances the Soulcaster creates, eventually killing them.

Dungeons & Dragons:
Several spells cause aging as a side effect of using them, including Gate, Haste and Wish. Varies from edition to edition. Generally, such costs are much more common in Second Edition than the Third.
One possible side effect of using an artifact/relic was aging three to 30 years.
In module I9 Ravager of Time the Big Bad Nuala aged one year per spell level each time she cast a spell. She used her Life-Bane power to drain youth from her victims to negate this aging.
The Wu Jen spell, Transcend Mortality, takes this to the logical conclusion: You use up all of your lifespan (and lifeforce in general) at once. You'll be more or less entirely indestructible for a while, but after that, you don't just die, you turn to ashes.
Quicklings were a race of Fair Folk who were cursed with Super-Speed by The Queen Of Air and Darkness at the cost of shortening their lifespans to 15 years at most.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates does this. Whenever twins Yuri and Chelinka do their weird... glowy... thingy without the help of the other, Chelinka gradually loses her soul while Yuri's lifespan is shortened drastically, leading to his near-death at the end of the game and prompting a Heroic Sacrifice from Chelinka. This gets a Call-Back in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia; if Yuri tries to perform "Rela Crystal" without first triggering the "Chelinka's Prayer" ability, he takes a significant HP hit.

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Word of God holds that Aang's spending a century as a Human Popsicle burnt up a lot of extra Avatar time (the only reason freezing in a simple iceberg didn't kill him is that he was in the Avatar State for the entire century; an Avatar is not supposed to be in the Avatar state for nearly that long). As a result, he died young, for an Avatar that is, at a mere sixty-six years old (in comparison, Kyoshi, the oldest Avatar, lasted two and a half centuries), paving the way for Sequel Series The Legend of Korra, set seventy years after series' end, and following his titular seventeen-year-old successor.

In the Young Wizards series, powerful spells may result in a reduced lifespan or death. Much of Deep Wizardry revolves around Nita's participation in a ritual that requires the central wizard's death (Nita being chosen by fate because she already owed some hundred years of lifespan after the first book), and in High Wizardry she uses a shield spell that drains a year of the wizard's life each time it's activated.

In Lost in the Moment and Found, this is The Reveal. Opening a Portal Door to the Shop Where The Lost Things Go ages the opener by two days — not much for a customer, but Antsy works there and opens multiple Doors every day for years, leaving her a little girl in a young adult body by the time she learns she'd been Locked Out of the Loop.

Batman:
The villain Bag O'Bones can become invisible, except for his bones, and gains electrical powers, but for each second he spends in that state, he loses a day of his life.
Gotham and Gotham Girl from Batman (Tom King) bought powers like flight, super strength, and super vision but every time they use those powers, they lose their lifespan.

Chrono Crusade: Chrono is powered by Rosette's Life Energy, shortening her lifespan. Early on, she comments that she probably won't make it to age 30. It leads to her death at the end of the anime. In the manga, it leads to her becoming ill by the end, and she dies at age 24.

The Lightbringer Series:
Played with in regards to "drafting". Each drafter can call on one to seven colors of magic (plus a few secret bonus colors) to create physical constructs out of solid light called Luxin, with each color having their own strengths and weaknesses and uses. Drafting causes the drafter's irises to fill up with the color(s) they use. When the color extends past the border of the iris, the drafter "breaks the halo", becoming a "color wight". Color wights' minds are more connected with the mental traits of their color(s) and feel the compunction to replace parts of their body with Luxin. The only escape from this color-induced madness is to either avoid it by willingly ceasing to draft when one's halo has grown thin or to die. Most drafters can expect to reach the limits of their halo well before age forty, and those who draft large amounts frequently can get there as early as the late teens.
This trope is played considerably straighter with the revelation midway through the first book that "The Freeing" is a holy ritualistic murder of drafters who are about to or just have broken the halo. The existence of this practice is a major sticking point for both sides of the conflict.

In The Last Connor, part of the reason Pops has remained in ‘stand-by mode’ for a couple of centuries is that the ‘upgrade’ that gave him T-1000-esque shapeshifting abilities is also a drain on his power supply, so he remained offline to conserve power. As events unfold, Pops’ power supply continues to run down, forcing him to increasingly improvise or time his actions just right so that he expends the least amount of power possible to defeat the current threat.

In the GBA version of Final Fantasy VI, you can battle the Eight Dragons again in the Dragon's Den. The Red Dragon rematch sees it channeling its life into power. None of your attacks can so much as scratch it, while it hits you with increasingly powerful attacks each turn. The fight ends with it casting Ultima... but at that point, the last of its life is used up, and it dies on the spot.

In The Familiar of Zero, a familiar with the Lifdrasir runes can transfer his or her life energy into a void wizard to power up his or her spells. Unfortunately, the life energy does not regenerate, so if this technique is done too many times, the familiar will die. Fortunately for Saito, his Gandalfr runes gave him extra life energy, allowing him to survive his final use of the technique in the series finale and still live a normal lifespan. His Lifdrasir runes are canceled afterwards.

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the lives of the Kevesi and Agnian soldiers are already artificially shortened to ten-year limits, and, in the case of the soldiers of Colony 0, this can be burned out even faster if they're ordered to disengage the limiters on the Flame Clocks aboard their Ferrons to increase their combat output. This happens in-story to No. 4, who, after having been forced to disengage his limiter in his prior mission, dies in No. 7's arms when the Ouroboros bring her back to her Colony.

Iron-Bound Elves in Wicked Fantasy have the ability to sacrifice some of their lifespans to enhance various abilities, making them, at the least, more likely to succeed at attack rolls, skill checks, or ability checks. As the process of becoming Iron-Bound cuts an elf's normal lifespan from "tens of thousands of years" to about "one to twelve years" in and of itself, and is typically the result of the elf being forcibly enslaved by a (usually human) master, most don't consider the sacrifice to be all that big a deal.

Fire Emblem Engage has this rule apply to draconic magic used by Divine and Mage Dragons. Lumera, the Divine Dragon, expends much of her power to heal her child Alear's wounds as Alear sleeps for 1,000 years, and expending so much of her power helps cause her death early on in the game. Similarly, Zephia gives the last of her life to make a magical artifact to aid the heroes.

In Children of the Lamp, any djinn who uses their powers will reduce their lifespan. How much varies depending on the power used, but granting a typical wish will cost someone about a day of their life. Considering that djinn can live over 500 years, and entering a lamp puts them in suspended animation where they don't age, this isn't all too bad.

In My Hero Academia, it is ultimately revealed that this is the fate of the users of One for All should they already have Quirks. As it turns out, so many Quirks at once wrecks a Quirk user's life force. No one knew of it because most died at All for One's hands before they learned of it with only one user dying of natural causes learning so (and even then, he died at the age of 40). Why don't All Might and Izuku Midoriya suffer this? They were Quirkless, thus their bodies can handle the power.
During the final saga, we get an inverted example: a copy of Rewind (used by All For One) can quickly undo any damage taken by the user. The catch: once activated, the ability constantly de-ages the user and cannot be turned off - Death by De-aging is inevitable.

This trope is foundational to the Magister Trilogy. Whenever anyone casts a spell, it costs them part of their allotted lifespan, and human society is built upon the sacrifices of witches. Magisters seem to be able to circumvent this law and do any magic without ever paying for it, but even they are afraid of what would happen if the secret behind their power ever got out — namely, that their magic is powered by other people's lifespans.

Dragon Ball Super has Granolah, in a thirst for revenge, steal a set of weaker Dragon Balls in an attempt to wish to be the strongest in the universe. While the dragon isn't powerful enough to just create that much power for free, it does suggest the next best thing; by reducing Granolah's lifespan, he can immediately acquire all the strength he could have acquired in that time. Granolah agrees to these terms and trades 150 years of his life, giving him 3 years left to live. In response, the Heeters use the Dragon Balls themselves to use the exact same wish to make Gas even stronger. It turns out to take so much of his lifespan to accomplish that he starts dying of old age within hours.

One Piece:
The body strain from Luffy's Gear Second shortens his lifespan if it's overused. After the Time Skip, Luffy seems to enter Gear Second for almost every attack, usually averting the consequences of the action by staying in this form for just enough time to launch the attack.
He also was healed from uncurable poison. Cost? 10 years of his lifespan (and an estimated 2 days of torture by having the cells in his body destroyed by poison and healed in rapid succession) in exchange for boosting his survival rate from 0% to a measly 3%. (Luffy beat the poison in 20 hours instead of the estimated 2 days, did they mention that the survival was dependent on the will to live?)
The Energy Steroids from the Fishman Island Arc temporarily double the user's strength at the cost of shortening their lifespan. The villains of the week take so many in their attempt to take over Fishman Island that they're all old men by the end of the arc. Bonus points for the steroids not remotely helping them fight the Straw Hats.

In Fate/Zero, Matou Kariya makes up for a lifetime of never doing magic by having Crest Worms implanted into him so he can be a Master for the Fourth War. Downsides include physical effects similar to a stroke victim, tremendous physical pain whenever he uses magic, and having only one year left to live at best. Zouken only gives him a month by the time the Grail War actually starts and a combination of injuries, overexertion from using his powers and fueling/controlling his Berserker, and mental trauma ends up seeing dead within days, and it would have been even shorter if not for Kirei healing him after he got nearly burned to death.

The elder Giver in The Giver mentions that using his memory-absorbing power has "aged" him; though it isn't clear whether it has actually shortened his life, or if he just looks much older than he really is.

Final Fantasy:
This is basically what Galuf does in Final Fantasy V. As he keeps fighting Exdeath while already in KO status, he winds up with an actual death that a Phoenix Down can't cure.
In the GBA version of Final Fantasy VI, you can battle the Eight Dragons again in the Dragon's Den. The Red Dragon rematch sees it channeling its life into power. None of your attacks can so much as scratch it, while it hits you with increasingly powerful attacks each turn. The fight ends with it casting Ultima... but at that point, the last of its life is used up, and it dies on the spot.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 reveals that this is the ultimate effect of the Eyes of Etro. In exchange for the ability to trace the timeline, the seeress Yeul's many incarnations suffer drastically shortened lifespan. Most Yeuls die at the age of sixteen or less. Serah acquires the Eyes of Etro at age 21 and dies on her third vision.
Final Fantasy XIV:
Sylphie is a Conjurer who is gifted in healing magic. However, because she refuses to learn about nature, and thus cannot draw upon the boundless energy of the world itself, her healing magic is instead cast from her own life force, in effect shortening her lifespan significantly. It's also revealed that this was how her mother died.
After the events of A Realm Reborn, it turns out that Y'shtola was trapped in the Lifestream. While it seems at first that the rescue effort has gone off without any more hitches than usual, it turns out that she's slowly being drained of Aether — and was furthermore blinded, so every time she tries to cast magic or even see, she's bringing herself closer to death.
Alisaie Took a Level in Badass by summoning a sword of light and taking up a Gladiator class style. However, because the weapon is made of aether, it ran the risk of doing this trope towards Alisaie had she tried to cast spells. Because of this, Urianger creates a special rapier and focus for her, shifting her to the Red Mage job, ultimately subverting this trope.
The Black Mage job has the Convert ability that sacrifices some of the user's HP in exchange for restoring a bit of MP. If the player's HP is too low, the skill can't be used.
With the release of Endwalker, Convert was changed to Manafont, which removed the HP cost.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates does this. Whenever twins Yuri and Chelinka do their weird... glowy... thingy without the help of the other, Chelinka gradually loses her soul while Yuri's lifespan is shortened drastically, leading to his near-death at the end of the game and prompting a Heroic Sacrifice from Chelinka. This gets a Call-Back in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia; if Yuri tries to perform "Rela Crystal" without first triggering the "Chelinka's Prayer" ability, he takes a significant HP hit.

In Stardust, each spell Lamia uses drains a little bit of the good looks she got from eating the last of the previous star. This leads to a funny scene where she repeatedly tries to use magic to undo signs of age in one spot on her body only for it to cause signs of age to appear on another spot.

Maken-ki!: Blood Pointer allows the user to empower themselves by drawing "Element" from the surrounding environment and, if need be, from the user's own raw emotion. But it also causes them gradually succumb to sickness with each use, and can eventually result in their death. It's said to be the curse of Yabiko Himegami's bloodline and the Oyama Family are his direct descendants.

In The Beginning After the End, diviners are forced to draw upon their own lifespan in order to see the future. This is because divination, as a deviant form of magic, is not powered by their mana cores. In the backstory, Queen Lania of Elenoir, Virion's wife and and Rinia's sister, ended up burning away her lifespan in order to save her husband from an assassination attempt by the then-King of Sapin by continuously looking into the future in order to find an outcome wherein he survived. She was ultimately successful in that her attempts bought enough time for the King of Sapin's son (Blaine Glayder, the present-day King of Sapin) to kill his father and end the war, but she died a few weeks afterward, leaving her family with guilt and prejudice towards humanity for years afterward until the main protagonist Arthur rescued Princess Tessia from slave traders.

In Fairy Tail, there are several types of powerful Magic that burn through the user's lifespan if overused.
Angel's Angel Magic works by creating golden coins, each one representing a portion of her lifespan and a cost of "10". By creating and using a certain number of coins and cost, she can summon angels to fight on her behalf, but not only does this drain her lifespan with each use, if they're destroyed she suffers extreme pain. She doesn't care at first, and even relishes the idea of someday "dying and becoming an angel in Heaven", but overuse of her Magic and Gray calling her out on her death wish and desire to throw her life eventually turns her "angels" into Eldritch Abominations that try to consume her and Gray, and she's only saved by Gray destroying them and another ally "refunding" her lifespan. She starts being more careful after that and even seemingly figures out how to summon angels without using the coins.
Ultear's ability to travel through time works this way. However, using it results in her rapidly aging to become an old woman, and to add insult to injury, it takes her entire lifespan to go back one minute. Fortunately, that one minute is all that the rest of the cast needs to turn the ongoing predicament in their favour.
Ever wondered why Makarov doesn't just nuke his enemies with Fairy Law all the time? Turns out the price to pay for casting the spell is effectively this trope. The amount of lifespan one must pay using the spell is proportionate to the number of enemies eradicated. The larger the number of enemies are, the greater amount of life force is paid in exchange.

In The Laundry Files, anyone performing magic directly (instead of using a computer, which is a perfectly viable option since all magic is math) will eventually fall prey to K-syndrome. Particularly nasty since long before it kills you outright, K-syndrome causes incurable early-onset dementia. Even more nasty when you know the mechanism: performing magic attracts inter-dimensional brain-eating parasites, and they're always hungry...

High School D×D:
Issei compromises his lifespan several times. He's first warned he cost himself some time when incorporating a fragment of Divine Dividing into Boosted Gear, and later costs himself 99% of his lifespan by activating Juggernaut Drive the first time. He eventually uses what life he has left to defend Ophis. He's rewarded for the Heroic Sacrifice by being resurrected in a new body that can handle the strain of his abilities without sending him to an early grave which also restores the lifespan he lost from his previous actions.
Siegfried wields the sword Gram, which decreases the lifespan of anyone who wields it carelessly like he does, and it hurts him even more than usual because he is part dragon and it is a dragonslaying sword with an anti-dragon aura. When Kiba kills him and claims Gram, he trains to master it so he can wield it without it hurting him.

"Rise of the Cybermen": The Tenth Doctor sacrifices ten years of his life to help recharge the TARDIS when it's stuck in a parallel universe. Granted, he has a centuries-long lifespan, and the ability to completely regenerate when near death, but still...
"The End of Time": The Master is resurrected. However, the ritual is sabotaged, resulting in him winning the Superpower Lottery at the cost of draining his lifespan, resulting in a Horror Hunger that isn't enough to restore the life force the superpowers cost.
River uses her remaining regenerations to revive the Doctor at one point; the Doctor later uses some regeneration energy to heal her broken wrist.

Mistborn: The Original Trilogy plays with this trope. The magical discipline of Feruchemy allows the feruchemist to store a particular attribute in the appropriate metal and recall it later. While the more practical attributes (memory, strength, and health) get most of the screen time, youth can also be stored. The trouble is that there is a certain inefficiency in storing and withdrawing attributes, meaning a slightly less than one-hundred percent return, making storing youth a fool's errand, since one will ultimately end up older for having stored and withdrawn youth than by simply living as normal. This turns out to be a plot point, as the Big Bad has devised a way to Rules Lawyer the system by mixing it with a different magic system in the setting.

Demon Gaze has this with demon gazing, which takes a massive amount of your lifespan, even if you don't fully gaze them. This results in one character dying and being unable to be revived by the necromancer, as she can only bring back people who died before their lifespan ended. This applies to the main character as well, but he's so long-lived that it hardly matters.

In Sorcery 101, both Magic and Sorcery takes a heavy toll on the user's health, with the result that neither Mages nor Sorcerers ever get particularly old. (It's more of a 'Will drop dead around 60-70' thing than an 'unlikely to see their 30th birthday' type thing, but still an unpleasant fact.) The main character, Danny, is a Sorcerer, but he's safe from these consequences due to being the Blood Bond of a powerful vampire. His teacher is a vampire, and thus also safe. Main character Ally, however, is a Mage with no added advantages, so...

A story arc spanning The Avengers issues #281-285 sees the team up against the Greek gods, who blame Earth's Mightiest Heroes for injuries team member Hercules sustained in battle. One of their main allies on Mount Olympus is the Titan Prometheus, who seeks to quell the conflict by waking Hercules from his injury-induced coma, imparting part of his own immortal lifeforce to do so. The results are reflected in new wrinkles on the face of the previously ageless Prometheus, as well as grey hairs.

The Rivers of London series has an instance of Wizards Live Longer/Merlin Sickness, but for most magic users, it's shown if you try to do a spell that is excessively powerful or get so addicted to magic that you are constantly doing spells, it can kill you. Magic burns the connections in your brain cells out over time and can, in some cases, lead to brain haemorrhages, so it's best to avoid too much build-up. People who have spells done to them can also succumb to the same effect of magic as well, so it's not only the casters at risk.

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger:
In the crossover with Kamen Rider Decade, the oni Chinomanako steals Daiki Kaito's Diendriver to become Chinomanako Diend. However, doing this cost him his second life, allowing Shinken Red and Kamen Rider Decade Complete Form to finish him off without the threat of growing.
Late in the series, Shitari gives his second life note Each of the monsters in this series have two lives: one at normal size, and another as a giant. to allow a Monster of the Week to have an even more powerful third life. Of course, he seldom enters the fray, so he was in no real danger of losing his first life until the crossover movie. It's much the same in Power Rangers Samurai, except that movie is never adapted, so as far as we know, Shitari's counterpart Octoroo is still chilling in the Sanzu River, awaiting the next time the Nighloks rise again.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses:
Lysithea and Edelgard have two Crests due to experiments carried out by Those Who Slither in the Dark, which grant them incredible magical power and strength respectively. However, their lifespans are drastically reduced as the body simply can't handle that much power. In several of their endings they manage to find a way to remove the extra Crests and in doing so reclaim their lost time, but in others, they do indeed die young.
While having a compatible Crest allows one to use a Hero's Relic without turning into a Demonic Beast, they still shorten the wielder's lifespan. Catherine refuses to wield her Relic Thunderbrand as a demonstration for Linhardt, stating that "Every time I use it, it wears away at my soul."

Dragon Age II applies this to a stat-boost. The Elixir of Heroism ages the drinker, "but with age comes wisdom" — you apparently get the experience of fights you would have had in that time, without the trouble of actually doing it.

The Cosmere:
The Stormlight Archive features Soulcasters, magical artifacts able to transmute materials into other, specific materials. This includes Mundane Utility like turning rocks into grain, or building an object out of wood and then transmuting it to iron, and also has limited application in combat — in one scene, a Soulcaster is used to turn a group of assailants into fire, killing them instantly. Each Soulcaster is able to transmute materials into one to three substances, depending on the device. The Soulcasters are treated as holy relics, with only specific members of the priesthood allowed to use them. It turns out that this is because extended use of a Soulcaster will slowly turn the user's flesh into the substances the Soulcaster creates, eventually killing them.
Mistborn: The Original Trilogy plays with this trope. The magical discipline of Feruchemy allows the feruchemist to store a particular attribute in the appropriate metal and recall it later. While the more practical attributes (memory, strength, and health) get most of the screen time, youth can also be stored. The trouble is that there is a certain inefficiency in storing and withdrawing attributes, meaning a slightly less than one-hundred percent return, making storing youth a fool's errand, since one will ultimately end up older for having stored and withdrawn youth than by simply living as normal. This turns out to be a plot point, as the Big Bad has devised a way to Rules Lawyer the system by mixing it with a different magic system in the setting.

Used as a main game mechanic in Sifu. On death, your talisman revives you but ages you a bit, and the rate you age increases if you die too frequently. Eventually, at around age 70, the talisman won't be able to revive you anymore.

After Lucy's power increases in Elfen Lied, it becomes a variant of this (specifically, the use of her vectors causes her bodily entropy to increase at a rapid rate, basically resulting in her disintegrating with each use of her powers).

In Gakuen Alice, there are four possible "forms" of Alice manifestation, one of which (the Limited) would deteriorate its wielder's body as it is used, and would eventually kill the person if overused.

In Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, a Zyuman (Beast Men from the dimension next door) can enable a human to become a Zyuohger (they normally wouldn't be able to use the Transformation Trinket) but at the cost of enough of their life that the two we see do it become old and gray instantly — and there's no returning that power. The Sixth Ranger is powered by the villain's experimentation fatally draining three captives to give him three Ranger modes.

An interesting variant occurs in the Buu saga of Dragon Ball Z: Goku is already dead, but has been allowed to return to the world of the living for 24 hours so he can spend the day with his friends and family. During the battle with Buu that begins on that day, Goku transforms into the new Super Saiyan 3 form... which is such a massive energy drain that it burns through all of Goku's allotted time on Earth, forcing him to return to Other World early.

In the Shadowpact books, Enchantress is mentioned using a spell that takes a year off her life to keep her team's leader Nightmaster alive for either another hour or another day. However, it's also mentioned that she's supposed to live for centuries like a lot of other magic users in the DC Universe so she probably doesn't mind nearly as much as a normal person would.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy:
In The Ring of Solomon, the titular Ring of Solomon is essentially this. Touching the ring brings forth a multitude of spirits while twisting it upon the finger calls a spirit of unparalleled power. However, even just wearing the ring causes the owner immense pain and every use ages the wearer a little, sapping their life energies.
In ''Ptolemy's Gate", the titular spell allows Kitty to astrally project into the Other Place but she finds her body has aged decades when she gets back.

In Mahoromatic, everything Mahoro does costs her a certain amount of energy (which can't be refilled for some reason). Even if she doesn't use her combat abilities, she's got about a year to go when the series starts. Using those abilities costs her a lot more, and she keeps being forced to. At the end of the series, she would have died at any moment even if she hadn't made a Heroic Sacrifice.

In one of the multidinous Dragonlance books, a mage casts Haste (which speeds you up and alters your perception of time) on himself and a buddy so that they can run faster for a time. He neglects to tell his friend that they have just shed a year of life in the process thanks to the rapid flow of time in their bodies.

In one of the Artemis Fowl books, Holly uses magic to heal Butler from a fatal gunshot wound, but her magic is not enough and the spell starts drawing on Butler's life energy as well. For the rest of the series, his body is about ten years older, although they use plastic surgery to mask it.

A variation is featured in Babylon 5: a healing machine that can heal injuries and restore life by drawing life force from the operator. Treating severe injuries requires a Heroic Sacrifice or operators working in shifts to share the load. If this sounds like a poorly designed piece of medical equipment, then it's worth pointing out that it was designed by an unknown alien race for executions. A condemned person would be hooked up to one side, and a sick person would get the other side.

Kimberly T's Gargoyles features the Manhattan Clan visiting a clan of gargoyles in New Orleans, who are revealed to be the original owners of the Praying Gargoyle statue that Demona previously tried to use. The tales of the clan's history reveal that the Praying Gargoyle works by taking life-essence from the gargoyle using it to cast particular spells; reference is made to one gargoyle shaman being aged almost a century when he used it for a particularly elaborate spell. It is speculated that this was intended to ensure that the statue could only be used in the most dire situations when all non-magical solutions had failed.

Invoked in Avenger Goddess, when the Iron Monger armor is modified so that Obadiah Stane serves as the power source for it; after a few minutes inside the armor, Stane is reduced to a skeletal-looking version of himself, and even after he is removed from the armor it still keeps moving, Tony speculating it's trying to find a new 'battery'.

In one popular version of Barry Allen's origin (the retelling in Secret Origins Annual #2), the lightning bolt that gives him his powers actually speaks, offering him the choice of whether to accept. It warns him that his life will be shorter if he does. (How does it know? Because it's Barry himself, at another point in the closed electrical/temporal circuit of his life.)
