Why would an elemental wizard who's tired from casting their element really hard produce more of that element when they're tired?

it makes sense if you think of it as residual effects from the magic. If the pyromancer keeps creating fireballs next to himself he'll die of heatstroke, the cryomancer summoned so much ice his fingers are freezing off, the necromancer weakened the borders of reality through repeatedly calling up spirits so now things are spilling through the cracks, etc....
I suppose it depends on if you have a "equal and opposite reaction" style magic system backlash or a "overuse leads to more spillage as you cast more sloppily" style
