My own headcanon for Raise comes from D&D fluff. At 0HP you are not dead but you are dying. Without being tended to, you will expire from blood loss or shock or whathaveyou. Raise as a spell is functionally picking you back up from that fate, hence the "Brink of Death" debuff that comes with it. You are punch drunk and not operating at 100% capacity because holy shit you almost just died for real.
Since she wasn't borrowing from nature, Slyphie was using her own life force to heal -- and since raise was considered a powerful spell, it used quite a lot and the results were not good.
