[Rezo hesitates. He really should examine at least one patient before he makes any pronouncements. But after Zelgadis has gone to the trouble of inviting him here he's loathe to shrug his shoulders and admit any real ignorance. A Great Sage is what's called for here, so Rezo must polish up his most promising theory and present it for Rezo's scrutiny.]
Given how long this has been going on... If truly nobody has died yet, then I would be inclined to believe magic is involved, yes. Normally in cases such as this the weaker citizens would die early on. Infants, the elderly, and those naturally susceptible to illness. The lack of death is unnatural, and likely to be the result of a spell keeping the victims tethered to life.
[...If a mazoku is actively involved it's going to be a pain in the ass.
Pushing that thought aside, Rezo gives his next warning in as gentle a voice as he can manage.]
Breaking that spell without allowing the victims to sufficiently recover could result in many deaths.
