The bodies of the Istari are essentially human. In my opinion they would, eventually, "die", it would only be a matter of time.
Except that the UT essay regarding the Istari states:

Quote:
....because of their noble spirits they did not die, and aged only by the cares and labours of many long years.
Why would the Valar have sent the Istari in such a form as could disintegrate prior to their being able to complete their mission?
