Having genetic memory is a super useful ability. After many generations you would have instantly born master polymaths that can accumulate knowledge and skills.

Short lived races would probably have a more hurried lifestyle. They would start working at earlier ages and try and reproduce as soon as possible (not like we are much different). Can't really say much else as it would depend on race.

Im currently reading a book(not a fantasy novel) that claims they are studying how aging works and are working on a solution, with the possibility in the following decades to find a cure for aging. And while im still reading the book and don't know how realistic the possibility of eternal...

im aware of human failings and assume other races have similar problems. I wanted to discuss how you would imagine a civilization run by dragons with humans and possibly other races as subjects. Or similarly dominant subservient relationship between two different races with a vast power...

I remember the age post, but that was more about system related and determining a person's age rather than the effect that age would have. But like you said. The results really depend too much on circumstances, there is no way to say how it would go in general. Let's talk about something that...

I read that. It was good. But i also want to put as counter example the elves in the novel "Isaac". Where their lifestyle revolves around experiencing new and exciting things for bragging rights and storytelling

But lets say a human mage uses magic to remain forever young. Do you think he will mature mentally similarly to a normal person, and so end up acting like a grandpa after 80ish years, or do you rekon mental maturity is also tied with the bodies state rather than time passed?

How do you think a long lived race should act like? Will they act like grandpa's even though they are in young and fit bodies? Will they act more or less the same just with more experience? Will they act completely crazy cause they want to do something new after having done it all before?

What kind of spells would be exclusive to specific elements? Where would you categories telekinesis and similar spells that aren't part of a natural element?

Either way is fine, but i like the idea of spell theorizing. I wanted to come up with a way to make a spell customization program in a videogame (only in theory for now) , something like in Oblivion or Morrowind where you could change the damage and other parameters, but also maybe things like...

So true undead would essentially be fueled by emotions, and once they calm down they pass on? Would it be possible for a true undead to render their state more permanent with necromancy? Becoming essentially a special race.

So what about soul magic? How would one learn it, and what can one do with it? What about true undead, revenants that refused to die and stayed on earth as a walking corpse? How would one meet the requirements to become as such and what would be the consequences on their mind and personality?

How would summoning and necromancy work? What are their restrictions? When multiple people try summoning the same thing, what happens?

What do the gods do? Do they isolate themselves because anything they say will manifest by magic? Or can they control their magic language? Whats stopping an evil god from destroying the world or spreading chaos with a wave of their hand (or their voice)? Would sirens be an op race in this...

So what are the weaknesses in your opinion? And would sign language become staple knowledge for mages? As it is convenient to be silent, and sometimes hand speed can surpass spoken speed. At that point, would chanting be relegated to sign language, the world of mages becoming like naruto...
