Unless Shio can pump enough energy into her exorcism techniques to make it the magical equivalent of a nuke, Ijok can counter with his own power. After all, he's possessing an inanimate object that's tightly bound to him and does not exert any sort of repulsive force, as the body of a living being may have, meaning that's he's certainly free to fight against any sort of magical technique that tries to break the bond between him and the conduit.

If she can call upon the power of a deity, then indeed, i'd have to change characters - but otherwise, Ijok is a rather unorthodox spirit in this sense.

All Atrenian magic is derived from Akasha or another deity level being in order to achieve specific functionality. So her Kuji-kiri spell would, at 9 instances of contact, invoke the power of Akasha.
