The sunk cost fallacy of wizardry. Come on man, just one more incantation, just one more and you’ll be immortal!
It’s always just one more incantation!
A wise king would know the wizard would just make off with the Elixir Vitae as soon as it was discovered.
Meanwhile we have autocrats telling their engineers to design them a computer intelligence that can manage an unstoppable army of swarming killer drones.

A smart wizard would just say that they can grant immortality, but it doesn't last forever so they need to buy a new immortality potion every year.
