If you`re talking about the spell description above then the subject
of the spell is not made immortal. "His body still ages normally,
but he will show none of the signs of aging."

Again, if you`re talking about the aforementioned spell description
it says, "The spell must be cast while the subject is within lands
controlled by the Sidhelien. The spell is ended when the subject dies
or leaves the sylvan lands."

This spell seems more like druid's power Timeless Body than it does genuine immortality.

That`s probably the most accurate comparison to something in
D20. It`s not immortality. It`s just a veil....
