It didn't demand the lives of those it was cast on in the KotSS arc either.

Every single one of the ones who were part of the link survived. They only fell into a coma and looked like they were encased in bee-wax, but at the end of the arc they all woke up again (though they lost their magic). And Katja, who was shielded from the direct impact of the dagger and only hit by the blast didn't even fall into that bee-wax coma.
