@firefly894: Life force drain would not do much: Settra consistently competes with Nagash and Arkhan, both who love to drain life. Settra in general is much too strong-willed to die to most things. Dark magic is much in the same spot. Technicaly undead are supposed to be weak to fire (mummies) but Settra himself can also fire essentially huge laser beams and his main weapon is that of a sun god which burns everything. That and wards/equipment that guards him should make him above just dying to flames tbh. Turning off necromancy would prevent Settra from raising the dead most likely, but again we're back to Nagash being able to do the same but Settra just being too stubborn for it to affect him.
Settra is an odd one to judge when it comes to magical power. We know he's less experienced at it than Arkhan, and we rarely see him use it. However we also know that he's powerful enough for him to rival Nagash overall, we know he's wise enough to know the secrets of the mortuary cult without any training (basically when he died he learned everything about magic in the afterlife), we know he's powerful enough to lead the largest armies of the tomb kings without allowing a single liche priest making him one of the greatest micro and willpower characters of warhammer, and we know that he's powerful enough to singlehandedly fight all the colleges of magic in Altdorf and even killing "a great many of their number".
I would say that even if Elyssa is more powerful/masterful of magic, Settra being a rival of Nagash, beating a great unclean one, and being a solo god against the colleges of magic should still allow him to withstand her magics. Not sure if she has any melee feats, but its worth noting that if she does not Settra most likely would simply block her spells and force her to melee.
The only issue is her regeneration. Settra can't do much more than cut her in half. If she can heal from that then... One could possibly argue that he could wield the powers of light and darkness, as nehekhara does have both evil and good gods, and he's blessed by them all and can wield magic from them all (tomb kings magic is prayers to the gods essentially). But if that doesn't work he has no wincon.
However unless she can bypass his OP willpower, his divine armour, divine protection, his own magic and his own regen; she doesn't either.
So its entirely possible that they both are locked in an eternal stalemate lol
