Thanks for the reply.
The official game guides says you can save him using first level Prism spell Blind. I think what happened is the Blind was not intended to cause damage, only stun. Since it IS causing damage it's mostly likely the bug/error.
I can get this first video, where Rixx interrupts the fight.

But not this second one which saves him.

Damn this is frustrating ( :p ) you get the first dialog interrupt by (letting him walk all the way up the hall, then casting Blind (Prism level 1) a couple of times.) Just can't find any info on this anywhere. Anyone recall the method to save Rixx? Funny thing is apparently it's LORE for him (to live, he's in LoL 3).
I did see one report about Greg Zuniga (who played Rixx) actually being on Facebook but I don't have an account to try to ask him.
