Hmmm. The Seraph appears to have spent about 2000 pearls on Wishes, which would buy 50 banners or so (assuming 50% losses from alchemizing but also dwarven hammers). Assuming the banners are given to mages (MR ~15) and not just normal commanders, I doubt even Blood Vengeance could save you. (It'll block maybe 35% of the 700 points of damage per round.)

However. Doesn't Phoenix Pyre bring you back at full hit points? With a reinvigoration of 22 and 1300 hit points, I'm not at all sure the Seraph wouldn't survive. Maybe if all the mages had a D9 bless...

Edit: No, wait, I know. Just hit him with a few Magma Eruptions first. The smoke clouds it leaves behind always increase fatigue significantly. It's possible that heat resistance prevents that, though; must test. Failing that, use Sleep or its equivalent. Anything that increases fatigue, in order to combat Phoenix Pyre.

I'm quite impressed that it's so hard to come up with (non-blood) ways to kill this guy off.
