I assumed he could. After all, he never hit Youi physically, if I remember correctly.

Morel can't see what his puppets are doing (and they look rather useless in combat), and he can't control the smoke of his Smoky Jail, or it would lose its defensive powers (I got it the smoke is very "ompressed" to form an indestructible wall).
