Getting rusty

How long can people go without doing magic before their abilities in it decrease?

That is if it ever happens

Look at it this way, does a swimmer's swiming abilities decrease over time if he stops swimming for a while?

It only effects you if you believe it does, for magic is more about belief and focus than how often you use it. You will find that many older practitioners cast less as they become more comfortable with their own abilities. It turns into something you use out of necessity rather then boredom or a quick fix.

Like a swimmer you can get rusty. They can still swim(cast) but they aren't as great or have the right figures.
