Right now, A'ria is more focused on botany and using her knowledge of herbs to help heal naturally instead of jumping to magic use every time someone bleeds.
I'm kind of approaching this like I did with my Blood Elf priestess on WoW. Not everyone then could wield the Light with 100% accuracy and precision, and using the Light to heal everything could exhaust the healer enough that they aged quicker, or even died (much like Arcane from WoW as well). Then, the Light could actually further injure the person it's being used on because it could heal the body too fast.
Yeah...the Lifeforce/Succor is not the Light from Warcraft.

You're actually a hell of a lot more in danger of stripping the life from the land around you if you go around healing everyone and everything than you are of killing yourself in the process (though, of course, anything is possible, and the trees might also eat you). Â The lore surrounding the White Mage questline mentions that the reason the Elementals currently restrict Succor is precisely because White Magic (of which Conjury is a very, very small part) is every bit as detrimental to the land and world as Black Magic - when abused and overused. Â There's a reason why the Conjurer mantra is "borrow, then return." Â You're expected not to overuse the lifeforce you're drawing from, because to do so is abusive and would actually harm the land around you.
From everything I've seen in-game, conducting a serious, in-depth healing as a Conjurer is no more "dangerous" to your health than being the surgeon in a several-hours-long surgery. Â Are you going to be tired? Â Sure. Â I mean, everyone is tired after a hard-days work. Â Is it detrimental to the surgeon's health to be conducting surgery to save the life of a patient?
Uh, not really.
