![]() In the first film, Lord Voldemort claims that unlike unicorn blood or the living off another, the Elixir of Life can give him a body however, in the film, it is not made clear that the Elixir can supply one with a spare body.His streak of independence made it intolerable for him to rely on the Elixir to survive, and only desired it to recreate his body. Īccording to Albus Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort refused to rely on the Elixir of Life for his immortality, as he would have been required to drink it for eternity, and the possibility of contamination or the stone's loss would result in his death. In addition, the supply of Elixir could become contaminated, which may have either annuled the drinker's immortality or outright become poison. For example, Nicolas Flamel, who created the Philosopher's Stone, lived for a little over six-hundred and sixty years along with wife Perenelle, but took on a senile and ancient appearance, dying when he and his wife decided to have the Stone destroyed which subsequently depleted their supply of Elixir. Furthermore, while the Elixir extended one's lifespan, it did not cease one's body from ageing, and if using it to reach an exceptionally advanced age, it would leave them with a decrepit appearance. ![]() If a person used the Elixir to age beyond their natural lifespan, they would become completely dependent on it, and ceasing its consumption will lead to death. ![]() The creation of the Elixir of Life could be considered to be the success of this goal, as the potion extended life if drunk for eternity, and could bring a disembodied soul back to a physical form. One of the three main goals of alchemy was to create panacea, a remedy that would cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely. Indeed, Lord Voldemort, surviving as a lingering spirit due to his Horcruxes, planned to steal the Philosopher's Stone to use the Elixir for that purpose, but was thwarted by Harry Potter in 1992. The Elixir was also able to restore a disembodied but earthbound soul to full life, creating a body. ![]() (You'll shuffle your library as a result even if there aren't any cards in your graveyard.The Elixir of Life would extend the lifespan of those who drank it, and so long as they keep drinking it regularly, they would remain immortal. If it's anywhere else by that time, it remains where it is and you shuffle just your graveyard into your library. If it's in your graveyard by that time, you'll still wind up shuffling it into your library because you shuffle your entire graveyard into your library. : As the ability resolves, you'll shuffle Elixir of Immortality into your library directly from the battlefield, if it's still there. If you have a way to untap it, you can activate the ability multiple times in response to itself. : Paying the activation cost of Elixir of Immortality's ability doesn't cause it to leave the battlefield. In particular, here are two Oracle rulings on Elixir of Immortality: , then tap it again and pay another two mana to put another ability on the stack. Therefore, you can untap Elixir of Immortality If the card is sacrificed or otherwise lost after the colon, then it is part of the effect. , then it is part of the activation cost of the ability and cannot be undone. If the sacrifice is before the colon, as in Grinning Totem It depends on whether the sacrifice is part of the cost or the effect of the ability.Īll activated abilities are written in the form "cost: effect".
