As well I was thinking this problem only occured with a mix of communion spells and matrixes.

K said: Ok, cast Communion Master on turn 2, then cast Flaming Arrows on turn 3. This is because any mage that casts Communion Master MUST cast it after the guys casting Communion Slave if you want your Master to get the effect (you can do this in a single turn if the Communion Master mage is below your slaves on your army screen).

If this is correct [1], the info should be added to the Guide to Communions thread.

[1] I don't have enough experience using communions to confirm or refute, but it doesn't sound right to me.

K: Are you sure of that? Communion Masters having to cast after the slaves contradicts everything I've seen about communions.

I don't have the game here, so I can't test it, but I'm pretty sure I've seen Masters boosted by slaves later in the casting order, and those slaves taking fatigue and spell effects from the master's casting.

I don't think that makes sense either. It shouldn't matter which order the spells are cast. It's a bug otherwise.

OK, I finally remembered to take notes in a battle to check this. K is definitely mistaken.

MA T'ien Ch'i, three Celestial Masters scripted:

CM1 - Communion Master, Divine Blessing, some other orders
CM2 - Communion Slave, Stay Behind Troops
CM3 - Communion Slave, Stay Behind Troops

CM1 is only able to cast Divine Blessing with the path boost from the slaves, and did successfully cast it in both of the battles that I checked.
