About the items that stop ageing, they don't really help for an already old mages, do they?

They should at least prevent any more limbs falling off, unless the mage is already diseased. But no, they don't reverse aging -- just stop it. Reducing age takes rejuvenation (or a new body!), unless there's some rare 'enter to reduce age' magic site.
