Perhaps, originally casting magic from the soul didn't come with any nasty side effects...

But now souls are xp and xp determine your level, and your level determine what you can and can't do.. so if you cast wild magic, you will grow weaker, and not just in the sense of getting exhausted..

Figuratively speaking, the consequences are more like: Your muscles atrophy, your bones grow brittle, and you suffer nerve and brain damage (lose skills/talents) and you have to work hard to gain back what you've lost.. and you may never be able to...
