At a certain point, damage to a living body cannot be undone. Magic is not the same as god-like powers over life and death.

Different kind of magic, very little of it was considered very powerful (Winky could barely drag a weakened Barty Crouch, Jr. through the forest), and majority of their powers is either transportation or, more absolutely, obeying their masters.

maybe he could’ve healed himself, but I doubt even elf magic is powerful enough to bring someone back from the brink of death.

I believe Elves can’t heal themselves. But yes, they are so powerful that they can even cast an attacking spell without wands. But their body isn’t as strong as human. This is my theory.

I think they are powerful in the sense that they can do magic in ways wizards and witches can’t. But they aren’t physically stronger.
