Yes, you are supposed to disrupt the ritual - and she should be unharmed.

what worked for me was: Doom + Greater Malison + Spook
You must hit her with these spells before she casts her ritual spells and that is not a lot of time especially when those golems jump in your face.
I also read somewhere about Power Word: Stun working on her successfully.
