In my WIP channelling the Aether (doing magic) has a rejuvenating effect on the physical body of the channeler. A side effect of this is that the physical body of the channeller does not age. As long as a channeller keeps channelling regularly they will go on living forever.
However, mortal minds aren't fit to cope with immortality and the channellers will eventually go insane. Some of them kill themselves while others have to be killed. It's also not uncommon for old channellers to disappear. Usually they're assumed to have disintegrated themselves in some way but occasionally there's no reasonable explanation for the disappearance.
I decided on putting the highest recorded age for a channeling human at somewhere between 400 and 500 years. This is a totally arbitrary decision with no other reasoning behind it than that I feel like it.
