The whole reason that Yda was against him using the ritual is it drains the caster of all his Aether, including his life force. Its a ritual that kills the caster. The only reason that Louisoix survived when he tried it was because the original ritual failed. If he was just stuck inside the bubble she probably wouldn't be quite so despondently moping in the Twelveswood right now.
