As for people using other methods to stay you g: I guess.

The writers pretty much let any magic user handwave a lot of stuff. Most spells you can handwave or craft in a potion or some ritual but...why? What determines which you do? Nobody knows.

Merlin does potioncraft and incantation to create a tethering spell. Zelena looks at it and just waves her hand.

Gideon has a spell to repair Hrunting. He uses one ingredient listed (blood of the smith who forged it). Since Blue has magic and blood apparently is magic, it steals her magic to reforge the sword.

Have we not seen the fifty thousand locator spells? Wave a hand. Wave a hand plus an object. Potion A, Potion B, ritual A, Ritual B.

I’d bet that those mages that seem to love beyond their normal lifespan surely have not aged, rather than glamour. Though, one would think they would have more ageless, young witches, but they don’t.
