The mage will not cast the spell.
To cast a spell with over>200 fatigue you need to have a much higher proficiency than the required in the magic path (so that you get a fatigue reduction), use gems to reduce fatigue or lead a communion so that you drain your comunicants instead of yourself.

The mage will not purposefully suicide, this applies also to spells that cause less than 200 fatigue but would take the mage over 200 fatigue when already fatigued. The mage is not so careful about the lives of his communion slaves, the bastard.
