"I personally headcanon if the void elf uses a TON of focus they can control the light without exploding."

Focus does not really help one's odds with this sort of thing. Some magics are simply incompatible with one another and in entities that are physiologically changed by such magic (undead, elves, heavy usage of a magic, etc), using one of those incompatible magics is going to hurt no matter how much you will yourself to use it.

The reaction of magics and the effect it has on your body really is not likely to be affected by the mind.
