I was flashing my phone, and I fell asleep. When I woke up my screen was blank and it appeared as if my phone were off. I connected it to the power adapter and still no light no boot no nothing. I removed the battery and removed SD and SIM card, still nothing. I tried hard reset, stylus in the hole. Nothing. Can someone confirm that I am not the proud owner of a BRICK? Is there anything I can try beside throw it against the wall?

No need to throw it against the wall, why not consider to donate to XDA-developers

It sounds to me that your battery just died while you were sleeping. You probably just received an error message and while connected to bootloader, it will not charge the device. If the phone is left in bootloader, it will eventually die.

Try using another battery or buying an external charger like a cradle with a dual battery slot and get it charged, put it in bootloader, flash it back to an official rom and then do some reading before trying again.

I have G3 Wizard. I believe it had IPL/SPL included.

And I am assuming you had previously CID/SIM unlocked it??
If yes...find a way to charge your battery, re-connect it, then re-flash. I learned that even the really badly damaged wizards can usually be saved form the brickyard!

Ok,if it's a G3 device,then there's nothing to worry,it sometimes happen due to a bad flash,or as you said cud be due to battery discharge during flashing or losing usb connectivity.Fully charge you battery by some means and check the USB connectivity.
Perform the procedure as posted my me in this thread,I hope it'll recover back to it's default status, :)

This may due to 2 reasons:
1.Your battery was die,try to charge it or change another one.
2.The chip which includs IPL is die,you may replace another chip or throw you phone out.
