Magic is a rather cruel thing sometimes, when you make mistakes. I was young and eager to learn. A single mistake blew a spell back on me, and I found after that day that I no longer aged. It didn't take much longer to realize I couldn't die, either - no matter how badly injured or how deeply ill.
I've never been able to reverse it. I know that it doesn't make me invincible - the reapers like to remind me of that. It doesn't make me a god. And it doesn't make anything, or anyone, view me as anything but an oddity. There are no others like me.

But I've had to come to peace with it.
