Can someone tell me how this VQ died?

In my current PBEM game, my opponent's VQ died after suddenly taking damage and large fatigue gains. Attached is the turn file. How did the VQ die?

Did you see anyone cast a spell? Did the VQ cast a spell?
Gifts from heaven can easily kill almost anything, and stellar cascades cause fatigue damage, though the VQ may be immune.

No, I really can't figure it out. Can you replay the turn on your computer? I'm not sure the file I uploaded is sufficient to see the turn.

Could it have been the radiating heat from the Abysians? The VQ was only 50% fire resistant.

Were you able to view the turn, then? The heat from the Abysians is the only thing I could think of, but why would the VQ suddenly gain fatigue and lose hit points near the end of the battle? Also, does heat cause fatigue gain?

Yes, I saw the turn. It was a long battle, so I may have missed a crucial moment. It was difficult to see the VQ with all the fire shields and astral shields of the other mages.

As far as I know, heat damage doesn't cause fatigue. I guess that the fatigue came from the VQ's own spells. Earlier I did see Caelum cast Thunder Strike, which does cause fatigue.
