There's an interesting idea. Old age as a sort of poisoning by time. Some species have atural immunity to it (Brithin and Mostali) others have enough power to hold it off for a long time but Time is the one force that healers struggle to oppose. I find that quite evocative. I can imagine a healer looking at someone and saying "I'm sorry, he's too full of time. It has eaten his brain and most of his insides and worn grooves into his body. There's no way to heal that."
