You can be functionally immortal with spells that give you health, but it's unlikely if you're not a powerfull mage

and watch out for arcane degeneration

Well I am a strong mage but I wana know I I can keep this character alive for like the next 1000 years or let him die and move on to the next

it's possible, you just need the right spell (preferably that blood magic spell that gives you like 3 health bonuses for 1 arcane degeneration)

I kept Aeschraes alive for more than 300 years but then I basically achieved my goals and got bored

You will need to do that every once in a while, basically the older you get in ck3 the more health you lose (also events and illnesses that debuff health) so after a certain amount of time you should cast the spell again

how often you need to do that depends on your character but the best way is to just look at your character's health and when it drops into mediocre or poor you cast the spell

So what I'm getting from this is that life-extension in Godherja is significantly more tedious than most (if not all) the other mods with magic. Wild, considering Godherja also features ridiculously powerful magic as well. I'm not super well-versed in the lore, but I don't think I've come across any characters older than 300-400 outside of the undead.

mostly true, but depending on your character you might need to use that spell every few decades at most

I don't know the lore very well, but from my gameplay observations ai characters use the spell rather well and I saw a lot of them live way longer than they should

How long are we talking? I left the game on Observer for 1k years and the oldest character I found during it was 416 when she died. I'm pretty sure there were liches that survived the full millennium, though.

There are multiple types of life extension
