Ugh that is the last time I let Vels talk me into going to a nicer upscale restaurant!

-Oh come on Hon the food was wonderful and the decor was absolutely splendid!-

Be that as it may it was in a Zero Gravity Environment and they ran out of Bibs halfway through service! (Sigh) But I admit it was nice to get out of the castle for a change.

Now then where was I? Oh yes ways in which Mamono can extend their lifespans. We should start with Canon material first.

1 The most well-known method is Mermaid Blood which when ingested rejuvenates and fortifies the body adding to stamina and endurance as well as overall age. (Several years I would assume twenty or so with one dose.) Only a small amount needs to be ingested though you would need constant refills (every few weeks) to maintain long lasting effects.

2 The Unicorn, (Please note this is a personal theory) the Profiles states:

''There is powerful demonic energy contained in a unicorn’s horn and because of it, they can use powerful healing spells. This healing power grows more potent the purer their “unicorn energy” is.''

This would lead me to believe that the Unicorn's healing spells would extend the youth of her Husband by having intercourse with him and purifying his body and removing any illness or deterioration. His lifespan would then become linked to hers in a constant cycle.

Some scientists have touted a theory wherein our genes have a built in 'age code' to allow us to age. Because we need to age in order to reach physical maturity aging is actually beneficial and the code serves a purpose. They go on to speculate that once we reach our peak age of physical maturity, for the sake of argument let's say the number is twenty five. When we reach twenty five the code is supposed to switch off. But because it has been working constantly for twenty five years the code has become corrupted and does not switch off in fact it continues onward. Which leads to old age and eventually death.

I would assume the Unicorn's Healing Magic would counteract and even halt this code on some level. (If the theory is true, it is still in development) Perhaps with enough exposure the Husband's physical age may reduce back to the point where he was at his peak. (But mentally he would still be however old he was.) This more youthful ‘energy’ that he releases during ‘climax’ would in turn be reabsorbed by the Unicorn’s body and work in extending her own youth. In theory they would be functionally Immortal. But they are both pieces of a whole, without the other the cycle would be broken, then their lifespans would be reduced to normal years.

3 Moving on to Undead Mamono, Vampires are the best example of this phenomenon. (But it works with all other Undead as well.) Vampirism in modern novel, movies, and whatnot is usually explained to be the result of a Viral Mutation or Invasive Bacterium. The fun thing about Viruses and Bacteria is that it is constantly changing, adapting, and evolving to better fit its environment. If we factor in how regular Vampires are at the very least able to live for centuries then it would be easy to assume that Magically aided ones could live forever thanks to the constant adaptation of the Virus within their cells. The same process would hold true for all other Undead Mamono.

4 Harems, since a Husband shares the life force of his wife and she partakes of his energy, the more wives you have the more sharing that goes around. In this way all the members of the Harem share each other’s energy and extend their lives.

5 This one just has to be mentioned. There are no doubt potions and spells which on some level may extend your life but I would be wary of their affects. Magic always comes with a price.

Well I hope this answers your questions sufficiently Marius.

Cheers,
