Can someone tell me how this VQ died?

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.

Heat is lethal indeed for those little Pretenders with few hitpoints. My poor Virtue took the heat when fighting Abysians... and I keep forgetting to give her that Ring of Fire Resistance, of course.

I havent seen the file but how are the dominion ratings? Ive seen that destroy people who got abit too cocky. They wonder how their god who was doing so well suddenly starts doing so bad. But they let their god move from strong dominion, double hit points, plus magic scales... into the other guys dominion, half the hit points of even the basic unit, and neg magic scales. Dominion does play a part.

Like I said I havent seen the file but its worth mentioning for lurkers at least.
