English is great at exceptions, but I'm nearly sure anything ending in -ation is a noun. Ligation certainly is.

Ligation is (among other things) the act of applying a ligature. So it does make sense.

Yes, technically it is a deverbal noun, but I couldn't put my finger on that term at the time

Ration can be a verb.
