Gedemitis's heart disease had tormented him for too long.
In his youth, he had once indulged recklessly in debauchery and pleasure, but it was only when his heart had problems that he became the amiable old man he is now.
And that was already a matter from centuries ago.
Although magic was powerful, it did not have a cure for his heart disease, so he had to be careful about it himself normally.
And in situations where he was asleep or unconscious, an attendant or apprentice had to prepare expensive spirit medicine or amulets for him.
These measures allowed him to survive to his current age despite his heart disease, and he seemed in good condition.
However, he consumed energy too quickly, as maintaining his heart-diseased body was akin to casting spells around the clock while awake.
This meant that although he was incredibly powerful, highly qualified, and famously renowned, he had very little time each day to handle matters.
