"True. I suppose facing the prospect of a lifespan more on par with an elf would certainly change the human outlook on life, assuming, of course, you survive that long. Still, isn't preventing that proliferation of advanced technology your mission, according to Aurelia? Seems a little counterproductive if you're making use of it yourself, especially since I doubt you'll be able to handle all of the crafting and enchanting yourself, which means sharing those secrets with, say, dwarves. While they're more likely to make intelligent use of the technology than humans, it's still risky."
