Of course those are closely connected.  As JB has noted, if Harry set aside training and didn't cast a spell for 20 years, at the end of it he might still  be able to throw some kind of magic, but he'd no longer be Council-level, he'd have to train back up
to that level to be a high-end power again.

Generally, in humans, high power levels are going to be connected to high use levels.

True.  My point was in the other direction though: even a low to mid-level practitioner can get a lot of the healing and antiAging benefits even if they Arent a Council-level talent.  But they have to make up for it the sort of work-horse quantity that Binder does.  There is a good chance that Binder casts more spells-per-day than most Council wizards; every problem is a Nail for his Summoning Hammer, and each individual minion he summons is a discrete spell.
