From what I understand burden of time bypasses boots of youth, and therefore by extension probably bypasses elixir too, take this as an educated guess though.

I've done a decent amount of testing, and while boots of youth may be negated by burden of time; healing (like the fairy queen) units are not. In a MP game I had the chalice and GoH control, so I casted BoT. It turned out that my mages outside my capital (where the chalice was) were dieing too quickly, so I summoned some fairy queens and did some healing, which worked fine. I'm not 100%, but even with GoH and the Chalice, my capital may have needed a fairy-queen or two as well.
Obviously, this isn't much of a strategy to use 95% of the time, but I had good gem control and I had seen that they took the death scale, so I wanted to crush their economy and kill some mages...I ended up winning the game, so meh.
