[Amps] More parasitic choke questions

Getting back to the nichrome, or resistive material for the coil, I'd 
think the only thing it'd do would be to lower the Q with an increase in 
temperature.
So in the case of 10 meters, if it started absorbing some power, which 
is likely then the Q would start coming down, and it would absorb still 
more power. Yet the purpose of the parasitic choke is to prevent the 
oscillation, not absorb power, or did I miss something?
