The question you ask is a good one, but in looking at what the spell description states - you have to ask yourself the following:

Does ANY of the benefits of the Soul Stone actively require mana? If you read carefully, the lifeforce is already transitioned between the caster's body to the object. The soul stone does not need to be anywhere near the body for its benefits to function. There is no limit to how far away the soul stone can be from the body - in other words, its effects do not wane in any way.

That implies then, that all of the benefits accrued to the spell recipient, come into being the moment the soul is deposited into a separate object.

The question to ask now is "are the effects of this transaction dependent upon mana such that if the BODY is in a no mana zone, will the body suddenly begin to age, or can be killed, or what?
