Magnet Fatigue
Cyclic stress that can crack a magnet over many pulses — the burner's binding magnet gate.
Repeated energising cycles fatigue a magnet's structure even when a single cycle is safe. For the burner's high-field plug coil, static loads are acceptable but cyclic fatigue is the binding engineering gate — a limit Kronos states openly.
