I really don't think so unless they were unable to channel aether at all, like the Lalafell in the THM questline. Â For him, attempting to channel aether WAS detrimental to his health. Â But there's nothing in the lore or story to suggest that Random Joe Bob attempting to conjure would automatically be harvesting his own life force. Â Conjury appears to naturally pull from the lifeforce around you.
I would honestly liken a Hearer to someone with the Conjury switch defaulted to "on" even if it shouldn't be. Â A regular Joe is more like someone attempting to decipher the Conjury switch so they can figure out how to flip it.
