One way to do it would be to have Zola Fel or one of his lesser kin "adopt" the characters in the role of a guardian. Guardians are usually not exclusive and the otherworld nature of a guardian is not restricted by concentration of magic.
There are exceptions to the usual rules on concentration (e.g. Lunar magic, another likely one is Donandar) and you could simply rule that due to mythic connections certain parts of Zola Fel magic are a known (but rarely encountered hence undocumented) such case for the characters' pantheon. A bit handey-wavey but it kinda works. Alternatively you could just suspend the benefits of concentration until the end of the adventure, at which point any character not cementing the 'benefits' of the Zola Fel magic regain the benefits of concentration.
