For some reason, just because you wield magic (or Magick), even if you don't practice The Dark Arts, your life span is expanded. This can be reasonable if you practice healing magic (as you can heal your body's natural decay). This increased life span is not dependent on the suffering of others or any other questionable method — it's just a simple equation. Got magic? Live longer. Likely relates to the notion that wizards are wise, and that wisdom comes with age. Characters that exceed a normal human lifespan can really play up the "aged wisdom" idea. Expect long lived wizards, especially of the Wizard Classic variety, to have particularly impressive Wizard Beards. This is a Justified Trope in Taoism, and the Spirit Cultivation Genre, since not practicing the dark arts would help one live longer. The energy from qi and the five elements is believed to be flowing through your body and supporting it. Practicing the dark arts would likely decay your body faster. Subtrope of We Are as Mayflies, though it may not extend that far. Commonly a case of either Age Without Youth or Elderly Immortal. Whether this is straight up immortality or merely a few tidy extra decades (or centuries), it certainly is a nice bonus — assuming you don't get killed in action. Universes where Cast from Hit Points and Cast from Lifespan are in play are less likely to have this hold true. |

In the Iron Druid Chronicles Druids have insanely strong regenerative powers when their bare skin touches earth. They are still subject to old age but they can heal any injuries or diseases which makes them long lived. The contrast between their lifespans and those of ordinary people must have been even greater 21 centuries ago when the Druids were wiped out by the Romans. Atticus has managed to become immortal by combining his druidic regeneration powers with a special rejuvenation potion, the Herb Lore of Airmid that can subvert - and even reverse - the aging process, meaning that he tends to stay looking 21 (though he was taught by Airmid when he was in his 70s, meaning he reached a fairly respectable age even before that). | |

His Dark Materials: The witches age far more slowly than humans with Serafina about 300 years old but looks about 30 while the oldest can get over 1,000 years old. This actually can be a problem as they must mate with normal men (because only women can be witches) and if they fall for the man, they have to live with watching him grow old while the witch barely ages. The same with having a son, who will have only a normal lifespan. | |

Magical characters seem to naturally have a longer lifespan than average. Dumbledore is the picture of good health despite being 110 during the events of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and there are several living characters that are a generation older than him — Bathilda Bagshot and Griselda Marchbanks to name but two. It has been mentioned that the wizard life expectancy was about 137 and 3/4, and the oldest known died at 755 - though that's an Easter Egg in one of the films, so it's debatable as to whether it applies to the books. Dumbledore also didn’t die of natural causes and his brother, who’s two years younger, is still around and works every day. | |

Mages in the Heralds of Valdemar series, especially the Tayledras and others who work with node magic, tend to be preserved at late middle age some years beyond the average lifespan. The flip side is that when they do reach the end of their life, they burn out and die in a matter of days or weeks. | |

In the Realm of the Elderlings series, users of the Skill can use it to heal and improve their bodies, leading to much longer lifespans. Kettle in Assassin's Quest is revealed to be nearing three hundred and while she looks elderly is still spry enough to keep up on a long mountain journey. Chade Fallstar is probably in his 50s in the first book of the series and is only starting to wear down in the last trilogy, some 60 years later. Fitz himself is subjected to an overcharged Skill-healing in the Tawny Man trilogy that gives him a Healing Factor and keeps him from aging into the Fitz and the Fool trilogy some 30 years later. | |

In Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series (and by extension the TamÃr Triad set in the same universe) wizards can potentially live up to 400 years old. Mainly due to the (human) wizards of this world being genetic throw-backs to inter-breeding with the Aurenfaie (Elves, essentially), from whom they inherit the long lifespan and magical abilities. | |

Vaguely implied in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. When Zelda is finally freed from Calamity Ganon's grasp after a century of keeping him a Sealed Evil in a Duel, she looks no older than she did when she was first Swallowed Whole by him, and unlike Link wasn't in a Healing Vat that otherwise would have kept her in physical stasis. The implication is that the same Royalty Super Power that allowed her to keep Ganon from destroying Hyrule also kept her from aging. The Sheikah tribe, if you consider their technology to be Magitek, can live over 10,000 Years (at least in the case of the Shrine Monks who spend that time meditating; the mundane Sheikah NPCs live to the comparatively mundane age of 130). |

The Belgariad: It's stated that sorcerers live as long as they "need to," although notably even after the plot has been completely resolved, they show no sign of starting to die off, and it's strongly implied that barring unnatural intervention, they keep going as long as they have the will to live - which makes sense, since their power is literally based on "the Will and the Word". For reference, the oldest sorcerer is over seven thousand years old at this point, isn't much younger than human civilization, and has looked pretty much exactly the same for the last 5000 years. The ageing process among Sorcerers is also discussed in one of the prequels, narrated by Belgarath, who observes how he - and all the other male sorcerers - look like vigorous men in their late 60s/early 70s, while his daughter, Polgara, looks about 30 at most despite being about 3500 years old, something that Belgarath speculates has to do with the social double standard of old men being considered wise elders to listen to, and old women being considered crones to be held in contempt and ignored. It's also implied that Sorcerers' shape-shifting powers work by forcing the body to adopt the form visualised by the sorcerer, so if they visualise un-aged organs they will have un-aged organs. They cannot practically heal acute injuries because of the energy required, but one sorcerer ages and de-ages himself as required for disguise and another undoes the effect of years of dissipation. From the same series, witches (who use magical powers based on manipulating nature spirits, as opposed to sorcerers, whose powers come from within themselves) live quite a bit longer than normals, though not nearly as long as sorcerers. Magicians, whose power is based on controlling demons, usually get eaten long before natural lifespan becomes an issue. |

Schmendrick in The Last Unicorn is temporarily immortal partially due to incompetence. His teacher decides there is no way he can reach his proper potential with a normal life span, since his talent for screwing up is even more powerful than his aptitude for magic. He's too potentially powerful to just let him pass on unfulfilled, so he gives him immortality with a clause: if he ever figures out how to cast spells properly, he will be mortal again. Schmendrick wants to be a magician so bad, he regards his immortality as nothing more than proof of his failure. | |

Implied in the Dragaera novels. Dragaerans have an average lifespan of around 2,500-3,000 years but there are references to wizards living longer, and Sethra Lavode was over 10,000 years before it was discovered (at that time) that she was undead. Easterners have a more normal human life span, but powerful witches can live a good deal longer; Lazlo the Warlock was a young man during the Interregnum and still looks like he's in his early thirties 250 years later. | |

The Druids in the Shannara series discovered a magical technique called the Druid-sleep that allowed them to live much longer than normal men, with the price that they had to spend much of that time inert, in a suspended state between life and death. Allanon explains to a young woman looking for her father it also makes them infertile. The plot of the first book, The Sword of Shannara, was touched off by the efforts of one Druid, Brona, to find a better way of extending their lifespans; he failed. Simultaneously inverted, as Allanon reveals to Wil at the end of the second book, Elfstones of Shannara, that all the magic he used in the war against the demons had physically aged him many years in the space of a few weeks, with his previously entirely black hair having turned all white. | |

Aeons from Threads of Fate could live much longer than a regular muggle and wizard, due to their magical artifacts known as [relics] but, even though most lived for over 1000 years (an example is Fancy Mel), they were not immortal, so they tried to evade death as much as possible. Also, one of Valen's apprentices, was skilled enough to imitate a Valen Doll to perfection, however he had a soap opera disease, and even though he was taught by the in-game greatest sorcerer of the world, he still died prematurely. | |

The witch, Fortune Teller Baba from Dragon Ball has been doing her job for 500 years. The reason for her longevity is never specified but she may have used one of her brother, Master Roshi's two methods. At the start of Dragon Ball, he mentions he had a pet phoenix that could bestow immortality but it has since died and in Dragon Ball Super he claims that eating Paradise Herb can let him live for another thousand years. | |

Harry Potter: Magical characters seem to naturally have a longer lifespan than average. Dumbledore is the picture of good health despite being 110 during the events of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and there are several living characters that are a generation older than him — Bathilda Bagshot and Griselda Marchbanks to name but two. It has been mentioned that the wizard life expectancy was about 137 and 3/4, and the oldest known died at 755 - though that's an Easter Egg in one of the films, so it's debatable as to whether it applies to the books. Dumbledore also didn’t die of natural causes and his brother, who’s two years younger, is still around and works every day. Nicolas Flamel, the wizard responsible for creating the Philosopher's Stone itself, is said to be 664 in the first book — though this is explicitly due to the immortality serum the Philosopher's Stone generates. Plus, this was stated in a book that Hermione got out the library, so it is very likely that he was even older since we do not know the book's publication date. It's implied that without the Stone, Flamel and his wife Perenelle won't live for very long. As Dumbledore put it, they have just enough serum to put their affairs in order before "the next great adventure". Hagrid is well into his 60s by the time the books take place, though he doesn't look it - Moody remarks in passing on a photo of the original Order of the Phoenix that Hagrid looks "exactly the same as always", and Harry mentions in the epilogue, that Hagrid is still working at Hogwarts in his 90s. Having both wizard and giant ancestry gives him an extended lifespan even by ordinary wizard standards. Word of God says that wizards can live twice as long as Muggles, though apparently this isn't always the case — most of the Black family seem to have died long before their 100th birthday (probably due to all that inbreeding). Gellert Grindelwald manages to outlive Dumbledore by a year. Even he didn’t die of natural causes but rather suicide by proxy. The big irony of all this is that Voldemort, the series' resident Immortality Seeker, ends up dying in his early seventies. He could have lived decades more if he hadn't messed around with Horcruxes and world domination. Newt Scamander, who wrote the textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and became the protagonist of the film series of the same name is still alive despite being born in 1897. His wife, Tina, who was born in 1901 is also still alive. Word of God also states that Harry's paternal grandparents, Fleamont and Euphemia Potter, were elderly even by wizarding standards when they had James in 1960. |

In Janny Wurt's Wars of Light and Shadow: The Fellowship of Seven are over ten thousand years old. Their apprentices are also capable of avoiding aging. The Koriathain process can only add up to 500 years to a person's lifespan and is only reserved for important members, which becomes convenient when one of them falls in love with the protagonist, who just happened to drink from a fountain that gives one an additional five hundred (strife-filled) years of life. |

In the Deverry Cycle, Nevyn the wizard lived over 400 years... but he was fate's plaything and that's not normal. One of his rivals, an Old Master, lived to over 200 due to extending his life with (Dark) magic. Typically wizards don't seem to live longer though; only really skilled wizards master the art of living long, and Light dweomermasters aren't afraid of death because they know they'll reincarnate. | |

Wizards in The Dresden Files live considerably longer than normal. Dresden estimates it at around three or four centuries, which lines up pretty closely with the ages of the Senior Council (the oldest and most powerful wizards). Harry's doctor observes that wizard bodies heal perfectly — no faster than a normal human, but leaving no trace of the injury or ailment, even in the case of a severely burned hand that would normally require amputation — and theorizes that this contributes to their longevity. | |

Happens in Discworld. Barring fatal accidents (or less commonly "accidents"), most mages live well past their nineties, even despite their horrible Big Eater habits — though it's Age Without Youth and feels even longer. Windle Poons dies at 130 years of age and spent half his life infirm. | |

Downplayed in The Elenium: the Archmages Sephrenia and Zalasta are centuries old and the Delphae may live even longer, although the Magic Knights of the Church have normal lifespans. However, Religion is Magic and Magic is Religion, so those powerful and long-lived mages are the rare few that have gained the personal attention of a deity. | |

True in Nick Perumov's books set in the Consistent multiverse. Local mages of various worlds, who may be powerful for their home settings but aren't as significant in the multiverse as whole, have lesser longevity: the archmage Seges of Diamond Sword, Wooden Sword is fairly within human age limits, something around 80, however she's a stunning beauty and not an old crone. The world-travelling mages, such as Clara Hummel and Ignacius Cooper, more powerful than local hicks, have greater longevity still; Clara is several centuries old, Ignacius even older. The Mage Species known as the True Mages, the most powerful of the lot, are The Ageless. | |

A possible explanation for Yoda's longevity expressed in Return of the Jedi (instead of a species trait). Star Wars Legends generally doesn't give ages, but agrees that Jedi have significantly longer lifespans than others of their species. This is justified by the healing explanation given above — one of the most basic Force techniques involves the manipulation of one's own bodily functions. It could also explain why Yoda seems to have suddenly aged quite a bit between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi even though only 1 year has passed (out of his total 900 years of life): once he reached the limits of Force-aided longevity, all those years caught up to him at once. | |

By contrast, most Sith seem to burn out faster, but are still able to extend their life past what it ought to be using the Dark Side, to the point where they're almost zombies, Freedon Naad and Darth Sion being great examples. | |

The dark side version of this is displayed in Darth Xedrix, a respected Sith Lord likely well over a hundred years old.

Zig-zagged in Warcraft: Some powerful mages have hugely extended lifespans, though magic use can also accelerate aging. Aegwynn is young (and fertile) after millennia; though she looks her age after sacrificing her youth-sustaining magic, Medivh later restores her with his power as Guardian of Tirisfal. The fallibility of the magic is mentioned as being a risk. There's also Meryl Felstorm (formerly Winterstorm) from the expanded universe, who used his magic to become one of The Undead separate of the Scourge's plague that created the Forsaken. It's explained the only reason he hasn't crumbled to dust is because of the sheer power of his magic. Fel Magic comes with a guarantees of an endless natural lifespan, but because Fel is naturally corrupting, someone who's lived past their first century will most likely be a shriveled husk with twenty different deformities that reveal them to the world. |

Exalted live much longer than mortal humans do, assuming nothing manages to kill them. On top of that, most kinds (except Sidereals, who have a preset death date Because Destiny Says So) can extend their lifespan even further through various kinds of magic. Solars and Lunars: apparently average around 2,000-3,000 years, though use of various Charms and treatments can push it much higher; Solars can theoretically hit 10,000 years. Sidereals: depends on when their Exaltation is due to move to a new host, but generally at least 3,000 years. One has been known to last 5,000. Terrestrials: 200-500 years, those with good Breeding tend to live longer than those without. Abyssals and Alchemicals: functionally immortal, as they are essentially The Undead and Golems, respectively. Infernals: depends on Essence, going from 150 years at lowest to 2500+ years at highest. However, they can gain apotheosis — and immortality — before age becomes an issue. |

The Labyrinth Expanded Universe says that King Jareth is older than he looks: The novelization says he kidnapped Toby to distract himself from the fact that he was ageing but implies he's pretty old, saying he's used to an era where people asking goblins to take their children away was more common. The Return to Labyrinth manga says he's been ruling the Labyrinth for 1,300 years and implies he roamed the multiverse for a long time before that. The Labyrinth: Coronation comic said he was a human child kidnapped by the previous king in the 18th century. He was intended as a sacrifice in a ritual that would make the Labyrinth's previous ancient but dying ruler, The Owl King young again. |

Appears to happen at least occasionally in Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. The legendary Raven King ruled for 300 years without appearing to age, and footnotes mention that even the daughter of a charlatan magician who deliberately cultivated the uncertain magical nature of her father's house by deliberately letting it go to ruin managed to reach a respectable 149 years of age. Otherwise, it's somewhat ambiguous, since it's noted that a lot of powerful magicians went off into Faerie to explore and were never seen again. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Zig-zagged in older editions with Wizards. On the one hand, they can craft life-extending potions, although most reach old age before reaching the necessary level of expertise — and an error can messily take back all the years that the potions delay. On the other, many powerful spells are Cast from Lifespan, meaning wizards are vulnerable to living shorter unless they're careful with their powers. Some editions grant Druids the "Timeless Body" class feature at higher levels: in 3rd, they simply don't lose ability points for aging and still die at the normal age; in 5th, their aging slows by a factor of 10. In 5th edition, Oath of the Ancients Paladins, upon reaching a high enough level, outright stop aging and are unable to be aged magically. Forgotten Realms: The Archmage Elminster is over a thousand years old, thanks in part to being Chosen by the goddess of magic. |

The World of Darkness: In the Classic and New World of Darkness: Changeling: The Lost: The changelings get longer lives as their Wyrd rises and they become more closely linked to Fate — which has the side effect of making them addicted to Glamour, vulnerable to the Wyrd's fairy-tale logic, and, worst of all, much more interesting to the True Fae. Mage: The Ascension: Life magic works much as in Awakening. There is also an option to select "Unaging" as a merit when creating a Mage, which gives eternal youth. This merit is quite inexpensive, because very few mages live to die of old age anyway. Mage: The Awakening has many life-extending options. The Life Arcanum can maintain perfect health and enhance the body's performance, with more advanced levels increasing the user's lifespan by 30 to 130 years and even suspending aging entirely for short periods. Mages with mastery of Death magic can steal the lifespan of others, and mages with mastery of both Life and Death can Body Surf — though at the cost of tremendous Immortality Immorality, unless they're targeting non-sapient victims like golems or homunculi. |

The case of every mage in Skulduggery Pleasant, though how long they live varies from mage to mage. The worst one mentioned ages at only half the speed of a normal human while Word of God says that the oldest mages live to be around two thousand. If a mage stops doing magic for a few years, they'll start aging again but will stop if they use magic. |

The Kane Chronicles: Iskandar lived in a time when the Romans conquered ancient Egypt and became 2000 years old. The books also show Desjardins, a magician over 200 years old. Apparently this is not uncommon for magicians and witches. | |

It' unclear if this applies to the Avatar in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar Kyoshi, most badass Avatar ever, lived for roughly 230 years, the longest of any known character in the setting at the time. The assumed reason was that Avatars naturally lived longer. The only other Avatar to be given a definitive date of their natural death, Aang, died at the biological age of 66 (but the chronological age of 166, counting the time he spent frozen), but this was explained in ancillary material as being caused by spending a century frozen draining his life force. However, the novel The Rise of Kyoshi implies that her long life was due to a secret technique she learned from a seemingly immortal assassin, not due to her being the Avatar, so it is unclear if Avatars actually live longer then normal people. | |

In the Young Wizards series: Inverted by default. Wizardry is a high-risk occupation, since being a wizard makes you a personal enemy of the Lone Power. And as you get better at magic, the riskier the jobs get, and all the while the Big Bad keeps getting more and more pissed off at you. Cast from Hit Points and Cast from Lifespan are also viable ways of tapping into extra power in a pinch, such as once incident where a main character uses a shield spell that uses up a year of her lifespan for every hit it takes. Played straight for magic users who join the Lone Power, as it invented death in the first place, jealously protects it, and makes sure anything a natural lifespan can be traded in for... is very ugly indeed. Although there have been hints that the few wizards the Lone Power merely likes (they oppose it, but make useful tools) do tend to live long and stress-free lives - because they never confront it when it wants to win. |

Inverted in The Lightbringer Series. Drafting (using magic) causes whatever color is being drafted to start accumulating in the drafter's eyes around the pupils. When the drafted ring pushes past the irises, the drafter, "breaks the halo," and is overwhelmed by their color, becoming a color wight. Color wights are considered monsters by the society of the Seven Satrapies, and they're killed on sight. As a result, there are very few drafters over the ago of 40. | |

The Sims 3 plays around with this, with various supernatural creatures that Sims can become in the myriad of expansion packs, many of which have extended lifespans, but ironically, wizards don’t get such an extension. On the other hand, wizards are naturally better with the alchemy skill, which makes it easier for them get a Fountain of Youth potion, which effectively does increase a Sim’s lifespan by resetting their age to the series’ equivalent of 18. | |

The Lord of the Rings: Justified with the "wizards", who are explained to be divine beings on the level of low-ranking Biblical angels in semi-mortal forms - they still age, just extremely slowly, going from middle-aged to old and vigorous over about 1000 years. Also justified with the nine sorcerer-kings who became the Nazgûl, as the Rings which gave them their powers also anchored their souls to the mortal world. Unfortunately for them, this had the ultimate side-effect of turning them into soulless, undead horrors after a few centuries. |

In The Wheel of Time: Women who can channel the One Power age more slowly the more powerful they are and can live for centuries. The age cap for modern Aes Sedai is about 300 years, though the Oath Rod on which they swear their binding vows is revealed to reduce the lifespan drastically: a channeler from Seanchan is still spry at over 400. Inverted in the present day for male channelers, thanks to the Dark One's taint on the male side of the One Power destroying their bodies and minds early in adulthood, though it was played straight before the Taint and goes back to normal after Rand cleanses the One Power of the Dark One's influence. |

Elves who actively practice magic live even longer and can apparently watch an entire millennium pass by.

In The Elder Scrolls: Throughout the series, the Altmer (High Elves) are stated to be the most magically inclined race in Tamriel and are also the most naturally Long-Lived out of the already long-lived Mer races. Living for several centuries is fairly average for them, while extreme examples have lived for thousands of years. In Morrowind, all of the Great House Telvanni councilors are implied to be extremely old by way of magic. Special mention Divayth Fyr, who at around age 4000, is said to be one of the oldest non-divine beings in Tamriel. In Skyrim, the headmaster of the Mages College in Winterhold promises that the lessons you learn at the college will last a lifetime... or possibly several, if you prove particularly talented. Indeed, the Telvanni mage Neloth from Morrowind makes an appearance; even younger and sprier than he was 206 years before. |

Paradoxus: On principle, fairies and witches have longer lifespans than earthling humans, but those with either the whole or just a spark of the Dragon's Flame are really, really longevous (~200 years old) — i.e., Domino's royal family and the nymphs.

Wizards in Fablehaven live for millennia, probably due to the fact that they were once immortal dragons that took permanent human form in order to increase their magical abilities drastically. Oh, and witches (different) seem to live a while, for some reason. | |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, one of the benefits of Ripple training is that it drastically reduces aging. Joseph Joestar is still relatively spry in Part III despite being a grandfather in his seventies thanks to the Ripple.

Puyo Puyo briefly touches upon this by some small talk between Ms. Accord and Popoi. The two mention that everyone has access to (and been using) anti-aging magic, meaning that anyone could be many years older than they really are.

Adventurers in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?. While not wizards per se, though even those who aren't primary spellcasters tend to pick up a spell or two, have potentially longer lifespans than normal members of their race. It is explained that the same divine blessings that allow them to become stronger have a side effect of slowing the aging process and the effect gets more pronounced at higher levels. However being an adventurer is a high risk occupation, there's no guarantee that any given adventurer will actually get to enjoy their potentially extended lifespan. | |

Hades/Precht, Warrod and August from Fairy Tail are three of the most powerful wizards as well as the most ancient human characters in the series, discounting immortals like Zeref and humans-turned-dragons like Acnologia and Irene. The first two are old enough to be the father of Makarov, himself an 88 year old man and accomplished wizard (and were in fact friends with his father, Yuri Dreyar), and August is only slightly younger than Makarov. | |

In The Lost Years of Merlin, wizards can live a thousand years or more. Interestingly, their non-magical descendants (wizardry often skips a generation, as is mentioned many times, seen in how both Merlin's grandfather and grandson possessed powers, but not his father or son) can too, since in the Sequel Series, The Great Tree Of Avalon, we find out that Merlin's son died in a fight when he was over 900. It has also been seen the wizard's blood has healing properties, and grants long life to those it is transfused into. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Zig-zagged with psykers: the power of the Warp can keep them young and healthy for hundreds of years, or burn them to ash within hours, or mutate them into horrible creatures, or grant them Age Without Youth, or turn them into a planet-dooming Hellgate, or just leave them to live a normal lifespan with the added ability to set people on fire. It varies as the power of sheer unreality tends to do. In general, it seems to be a rule that races with psychic ability live longer. The Tau have almost no warp presence, and live 40 years. Humans have some warp presence, varying from person to person, and live hundreds. Eldar, the standard psychic powers race, can live to be over 1,000 (with specialized fortune-tellers living far longer, one even managing to stay alive for over 10,000 years). The two races most connected to the warp, the Orks and Chaos proper, are both effectively The Ageless. The rules are muddied by extensive life-prolonging technologies — rumoured to be fuelled with the lives of children, mind. |

Shadowrun: The immortal elves are all stupendously powerful magicians, but the causality goes the other way around: they're that good because they've had thousands of years of practice, and because they know techniques from the previous magical age that everyone else hasn't (re)discovered yet.

In the movie, he's trying to come back and possess a new body. In the earlier script, he'd never died and just lived to modern day using fake names. Though he did intend to die and transfer his soul into a baby. |

Child of the Storm has 'wanded' (Harry Potter style) witches and wizards, who mature in their late teens/early 20s, and live for up to about 200 years, and 'wandless' (Harry Dresden style) style practitioners, whose magical abilities mature when they're about a century old, and live for over 400 years (though they're pretty elderly by that point). This is explained as a trade-off between a greater degree of fine control and a greater connection to the magic of the natural world. The difference is compared to being right and left-handed, but while there is a degree of overlap (most obvious with some wanded practitioners having a talent for some wandless magic), and there is a way to become 'magically ambidextrous', it's not known whether this has any effect on lifespan, as in the latter case, the inventors of the art died in their early 30s, and their daughter, who mastered it, is in her 20s. The Sorcerer Supreme and their anointed successor also learns how to master both kinds of magic, but they have their ageing process frozen, and even if they didn't, they usually die long before it has any major effect. Doctor Strange, the current incumbent (until chapter 27 of the sequel, when he abdicates the title and spends the next 7 chapters pretending to be dead for reasons of his own), is one of the exceptions to the rule, having held the position since 1645. He's even more of an exception than is usually realised, as he was, in fact, born around 500 AD, and was raised and taught alongside Merlin in Camelot. After Camelot fell, he was altered by the Time Stone, and became The Ageless and a Time Master without equal, resulting in a lot of time travelling that has pushed the best estimates of his age to somewhere around 500,000 years old. Merlin, meanwhile, is about as old as Thor and Loki at 1500 years old, and if anything, he actually looks younger than them. No one's entirely sure why, though it's strongly implied to be due to his intense connection to the magic of the Earth - something supported by the fact that Nimue, Arc Villain of Unfinished Business jury-rigs a similar connection and promptly goes from someone who's about 80 (give or take a millennium and a half being Not Quite Dead) and looks middle-aged to looking like the gorgeous 20-something she once did. |

When Joey duels Yugi in the Duelist Kingdom arc of Yu-Gi-Oh!, he uses his Time Wizard to make Yugi's Dark Magician 1000 years older. Not only does this fail to kill the Dark Magician, it ends up transforming him into the more powerful Dark Sage because the magician simply spent those thousand years studying and training. This mechanism is imitated in the card game, but it only works if the controller of the Dark Magician uses Time Wizard and only if they call the coin toss correctly. | |

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Fray crossover ("Time of Your Life"), has Willow being still alive after having regained her powers. This takes place hundreds of years after Buffy. Apparently it applies to many warlocks and witches, because the comics also show the two aunts of Giles, who are powerful witches, and have not aged over several decades. |

Sorcerers in Tigana are noted to be long-lived (much to the displeasure of the people of the Peninsula of the Palm, most of whom are subjugated to one of two sorcerer-kings who won't even have the decency to die in a reasonable span). One sorcerer, King Brandin, is in his sixties, looks like he's in his forties, and fully expects to still be alive and hale after another sixty years, though his upper limit for aging isn't specified. | |

Subverted in the Evillious Chronicles—the sorceress Elluka Clockworker is immortal in the sense that she can't age (she's still able to be killed, though). However, she isn't immortal because she's a witch. It was a side effect of her fiancee trying to bring her back to life after her jealous sister-in-law murdered her. It becomes even more confusing when it's revealed that Elluka was never actually brought back to life; she's actually an amnesiac goddess named Levia inhabiting her body. | |

Deadlands: All three of the "core" openly magical Arcane Backgrounds have some way to reduce the effects of aging. Hucksters get a year of their life added in the here-and-now (unless they suffer a Critical Failure) while the Blessed and Shamans have ways to greatly reduce the rate at which they age. Mad Scientists, on the other hand, lack a method to slow aging, but can opt to go transhuman instead, like Darius Helstromme did. In the nineteenth century, "transhuman" equals "reanimated zombie brain in a jar in a clanky steam robot body". |

Seems to be the case in Rivers of London, with the last English wizard being over one hundred years old. This appears to be a unique or at least recent phenomenon, however: he began aging in reverse sometime in the 1970s, and he's as mystified by it as anyone else. Other wizards did not have this trait. | |

Leonard Powers of Ugly Americans is over 400 years old, and looks every decade of it. His "apprentice" is 50 and appears to be a young teenager. His older brother, a parody of Chris Angel, looks much more youthful than he does... Yeah, Leonard is not a very good wizard. | |

Witches in Little Witch Academia (2017) are implied to live very long lives. After a relatively normal schooling in their teens, they can live hundreds of years. The Headmistress looks like she's in her early 50s at most, and is well over 200 years old—one hint of this is that her deceased father (whom Akko and her friends accidentally raised from the dead) was buried in what looks like a bright red, Napoleonic-era military uniform. | |

Titus Crow: In "Lord of the Worms" Julian Carstairs, the titular Lord has been alive for 350 years by swapping bodies with younger men every few centuries. The ritual only works on people with certain birt dates and names with a specific numerological significance. Carstairs does during the ritual because he had the wrong with year for Crow. Attempted in Elysia where the sorcerer, Exior makes a deal with Cthulhu to gain immortality. Being a Jackass Genie, Cthulhu said that the only true immortality is continuing one's bloodline and gave Exior dominant genetics that made all his descendants look exactly like him. |

In The Cosmere setting by Brandon Sanderson: In Elantris Dakhor monks have longer-than-natural lifespans, though how long precisely is never said. Elantrians have been confirmed via Word of God to be able to live forever, although they can still die from other means, and they generally do choose to die eventually In Mistborn, the Lord Ruler is functionally immortal and his Steel Inquisitor servants are longer lived than normal humans, despite having metal spikes through their skulls. The former is by far the most powerful Allomancer on the planet and the latter are considerably stronger than normal as well. The Lord Ruler is revealed to be combining Allomancy with a lesser known Equivalent Exchange based magic called Feruchemy to violate said equivalent exchange limitations and generate unlimited health and youth. His Inquisitors have a lesser version granted via the metal spikes in their body in a form of Blood Magic. In Warbreaker each person is born with a Breath, which can be given to others and used in Awakening. As a person accumulates more Breaths, they live longer and become resistant to diseases. With a few thousand Breaths they become ageless and are immune to virtually all ailments. |

Star Wars Legends states that Jedi tend to age more slowly than normal folk. Knights of the Old Republic lampshades it when someone remarks that the Exile doesn't look a day older than s/he did during the Mandalorian Wars a decade earlier. By contrast, most Sith seem to burn out faster, but are still able to extend their life past what it ought to be using the Dark Side, to the point where they're almost zombies, Freedon Naad and Darth Sion being great examples. The dark side version of this is displayed in Darth Xedrix, a respected Sith Lord likely well over a hundred years old. Though he tries to convince everyone that he is every bit as powerful as in his youth, when he is actually forced to fight he quickly reveals himself as a frail and powerless old man once he overexerts himself. Human ages in Legends vary Depending on the Author; in Timothy Zahn's works a governor can be forty and considered young, and sixty is middle aged, perhaps because they have better medical technology in the Galaxy Far Far Away. At least one later-set book states that Han should have until he's about a hundred twenty before his faculties start to fail, though other books regard human ages with more Earth-standard eyes. However, a Force-Sensitive woman in The Courtship of Princess Leia is stated to be three hundred years old (not quite clear-cut as Dathomari are a Human Subspecies and the Witches follow completely different rules from other Force users). According to the wiki, Tales of the Jedi has an example of a Force-sensitive human living to eight hundred. |

Mage: The Awakening has many life-extending options. The Life Arcanum can maintain perfect health and enhance the body's performance, with more advanced levels increasing the user's lifespan by 30 to 130 years and even suspending aging entirely for short periods. Mages with mastery of Death magic can steal the lifespan of others, and mages with mastery of both Life and Death can Body Surf — though at the cost of tremendous Immortality Immorality, unless they're targeting non-sapient victims like golems or homunculi. | |

Wild Wizards at least in David Weber's War Gods series. Wencit of Rum wasn't precisely young during the Fall of Kontovar, and is showing no signs of slowing down over a millennium later. The same "magic field" that gives Wencit his power is also responsible for the Hradani living twice as long as humans, and the immortality of the elves is explicitly linked to magic since they used to be a human strain of spellcasters with a specific natural gift rather than a learned ability. | |
