falls down."

"Any figure whose ST is reduced to 3 or less has an extra -3 DX for the rest of the combat."

Seems pretty clear to me there where the effects in question are listed. No?
This. Spellcasting fatigue can't knock you down or give you shock, but enough of it will tire you out and leave you woozy. That's an interesting dramatic rules, since it makes combat magic just risky enough - do you blast away on your opening turns and court disaster (making yourself a sitting duck for any warrior who escaped your barrage)? I do like the idea that combat magic is "the big gun with only one shot".
