Let's say that Dawn was very close to the shadow beast when that attack went off, given the nature of his magic would it be unreasonable to assume that he could have survived that? I mean you did launch a mini sun, that is sort of his power base.

Also maybe you missed it but Nidhogg erected a giant dome of bone around the battlefield. Your character shouldn't have been able to see anything going on after that or be able to target the creature specifically since it was inside the dome.

If he was close to it so was Cody, so Cody would've protected them from the blast anyway.
