That's half-right. The Singularity's power does dim, as the name suggests, but the natives still can't get close to it. All magical power diminishes, though, in everyone but us. It means that Thorne would be particularly weakened given how much they rely on magic, and the Free Cities could deal a serious blow.
[ Maybe some people would be okay with that. Thorne hasn't earned a lot of loyalty from the Summoned. But as Steve pointed out to Geralt, there are plenty of normal civilians who would get caught in the crossfire, and they don't want the Cities to get too strong of a foothold either.
