Can someone tell me how this VQ died?

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.

I've watched the battle many times, and the VQ wasn't casting spells when her fatigue suddenly started to quickly increase.

I watched carefully, it was definitely the heat aura that did her in. From the very beginning it was doing 5-10 points of fatigue every turn. She got off a couple of spells, and then it fell below 100 and it was a long battle between her reinvigoration (and regeneration once it got to the point of doing direct damage) and the ongoing fatigue from heat.
