"Almost any wound to the comatose form will drive it into fatal shock."
pg 147 SRI

There's the rule, and the explanation is included in it. However, I feel the
"needles will automatically kill you" bit is taking it a little too far. It
does say "Almost..." And it also says that mundane healing techniques can be
applied to the body, pg 147 also, so I guess you can inflict minor cuts and
stuff and not kill the magician.
