Well, when we're talking RP setting metaphysics, it works how the devs' lore says it works -- and the lore, as explained by the in-game book that's being referenced, indicates how those specific metaphysics operate in the setting (or, at least, how a well-respected mage whose writings influence the modern practice of magic believes they operate).
Characters are, of course, able to disagree with that, but ICly, that'd be like disagreeing with Newton on how gravity works. It's not likely to get a positive reaction. OOCly, all we can do is look at what lore is provided and say, "That's how it is." I don't particularly like the lore about Conjury and Succor, but it is the lore, and so I've got work with it.
