Two reasons: thaumaturges typically have much higher than normal personal aether reserves to draw upon, and they are able to focus and refine their aether using crystal and bone foci in their staffs. We don't know how much personal aether the girl in the conjurer quests had, but we do know she wasn't using an appropriate tool to focus that aether (so she probably had to overcompensate by using even more aether).
