Part of the reason Soraka was reworked was to discourage her from building tanky. It's not fun to be unable to kill the thing that's making the enemy team killable. A scaling mana cost would incourage her to build defensive mana items like Frozen Heart and Righteous Glory, and there would be nothing in her kit to discourage building tanky.

Manually detonating E would be kinda strong. Enemies inside can't just dash out, because they're silenced. They need to be able to walk out, because that's the only way they can escape (without Thresh, Kalista, or enemy Alistar that doesn't know how to combo W-Q). It's best used as a followup to your T-mates' CC, or used defensively. It's also great for fighting in the jungle.
