Vessels give strength to the magical concepts. It's all symbolism. Maria saw Sakutarou die. Violently. By the very person that gave him existence. It's an emotional block difficult to overcome without a vessel.

Actually, I recently ran over that Golden Land scene in EP4 again, and I was thinking about how it connected to the Yukari ending in EP8 as well. It makes you wonder which of Ange's worlds that particular scene in the Golden Land with Beatrice and Maria actually represents.
EDIT:
In fact, it fits with the Yukari ending a lot better I think. It makes a lot more sense if Ange moves on from Maria's death by writing about ("resurrecting") Sakutarou, rather than by just finding Sakutarou dolls somewhere.
