In that last situation it would certainly fix it, since nature magic increases old age threshold by 50% of original maxage. So if old age normally started at 500, empowering 1 level of nature would push it to 750. IF it already did have 1 nature and maxage with that was e.g. 450 (with base maxage at 300), empowering to N2 would push maxage to 600 and it would still not be old.

The aging mechanics are listed quite thoroughly in the FAQ.

The healing afflictions section does need a slight reworking, which I'll get around to doing soon.

EDIT: FAQ updated

Just give him a thistle mace and heal, then remove. Similarly, equipping old mages with N boosters before late winter works no worse in terms of affliction prevention than boots of youth.

And Edi is, of course, right regarding the maxage.

Re: Getting rid of a disease ?
 

Yeah, just a thistle mace does the trick with some of my old age Man Crones. It's close, they have to have N4 to begin with, just a few years here and there can be the key. But I've been able to save maybe half of them from old age with just a thistle mace.

I do have question; say I have an old age-caused disease. What happens if I equip my hero with EoL... does he die and rise again, or just stay dead ignoring the EoL? What, if he dies aviolent death in a battle before the disease gets him? Will he come back fully healed?

Re: Getting rid of a disease ?
 

He either stops losing hp or rises again as a crippled husk of what he used to be. I remember experimenting with elixirs of life and a fever fetish, but I don't exactly remember the outcome.

Re: Getting rid of a disease ?
 

he does not stop losing HP, thats for sure. So I am wondering wether it is worth to lose an item such as EoL -> is he gonna get back up diseased?
