Turbine engines don’t really have partial power failures. Generally they are either running or they are not. (Or in the case of an FCU failure running but at idle)

In the PC-12 the prop produces heinous drag if the engine decides to "not". Feathering is how you stretch the glide and is an immediate reaction. It is not automatic. NFW would you be contemplating a restart at 800'.

Unless there is a fuel flow issue, perhaps something like what happened in the KATHON fuel biocide debacle. Filters clog, fuel flow slows.

Although it says the prelim is out, I couldn't find it.

It appears that the motor came from together.
