Then Stafford and Barker are going to the same source. I read something very much like this in the intro of a book on Hindu gods.

In Steve Maurer's sorcery rules, he has a spell called False Immortality. In addition to slowing aging, it slows all change by the same rate, including learning. So someone under a high intensity spell would essentially not change. Kind of scary to contemplate.
However, in his campaign, the Brithini didn't use this spell. They used a superior immortality spell.
