In that case, though, Spiegelmann is unintentionally responsible. But I HIGHLY doubt he crafted the original. If what you say holds true, then him building a replica easily proves my theory, since Zakum in itself is stonework given life by the evil spirit - separate the spirit, and the vessel is inanimate and lifeless.

Cygnus is quite old, she just has eternal youth thanks to her being a Goddess and all. Mihaele and the other Knight Lords are most likely adults, but the chibi artwork belies their true age (Eckhart being the youngest, and I would THINK Mihaele being the oldest, given that of Cygnus' Knight Lords, he's the one she trusts most).
Spieg is currently in his late 50s, early 60s maybe? Yet that also raises the question of HOW his hair pigments retain their color. Technically speaking, Von Leon stopped aging when he swore his oath to the Black Wings (most likely Black Mage's doing, intentionally or not). So, in order to hide his shame, Spiegelmann decides to forget he ever knew Von Leon.

Dragons are among the oldest beings in Maple World. They don't age that fast. In fact, Afrien died of unnatural causes, so it's most likely that after pacting with Freud, his lifespan may be chained to Freud's, or Freud may have gained more lifespan years due to gaining Afrien's life span.
Horntail is probably ages old. He's probably been alive when Athena Pierce (and possibly Mercedes) were still toddlers. So that means Spieg would've had to have been VERY brave to go near him, as it takes ordinary Maplers extreme strength to take him down normally (we have to be 120/140+ to even legitimately stand a chance against his true strength).
