Perhaps 'Decay' is somewhat metaphorical here in that there may be a slightly broader sense in its contextual meaning presented above in lieu of its conventional usage.

I see two forms of 'Decay' existing. First there is the 'Absolute' type, and then there is the 'Relative' type.

The absolute type is inevitable. We are Born, and our Physical Bodies progress to the Apex of the Bell Curve and then begins the gradual decline, although we may continue to Evolve/Progress Mentally and Spiritually in spite of this - there is a bit of irony here in that our Spirit may continue to ascend the Heavens while our 'Shells' are returning to Mother Earth.

The relative type of decay and its dynamics are determined by Chance, Choices, Free Will of Others and is Bound to the Absolute Type of Decay, but also exists independently of it. A Wheel Within a Wheel, each executing its own algorithm. The outer cycle is Static and Absolute, while the inner is variable and dynamic. When taken as a 'Thread' of individual existence the process is finite and linear, but when taken as a Universal Whole the process becomes Circular.

Magic may likely help with the Relative Type, but as far the Absolute, maybe, but that's very much different.
