Sort of. The Brithini are ageless because they keep to their traditions, and follow their rules. In a sense, the way that they live can be looked on as a sorcery spell (and possibly is described as such by some modern Malkioni), but it's not a spell in the normal sense of things. It doesn't need to be cast; if the Brithini live a proper life, they won't age. As soon as they abandon their society, they begin to age normally - not because there are no Zzaburi around, but because they have fallen from grace.

This is pretty much the same as the mostali, who also have a sorcerous culture with very strict rules.
