Priests in communion kill slaves gauranteed. BUG?
 

Give a communion master matrix stone to a lvl3 priest, or rather, give it to two priests on the same battle and watch your priests kill your communion slaves as they cast 4 smites and banishments each per battle round.

This has to be a bug. While I enjoy my priests casting many times in one battle round, it not only adds fatigue to the communion, it kills them fast. I thought priest spells are 0 fatigue!

While the spells themselves are zero fatigue, the action of casting usually is not. See the actual value by clicking on the "Encumberance" stat for the slaves. Plus, if the slaves are casting spells for which they don't have the right magic paths and levels, for example holy spells when they themselves have no holy magic, then they get additional fatigue just like the manual lays out. I think that when they don't have holy magic paths at all, they don't benefit from the communion bonus, too, but I am not that sure on that one.

I think the additional fatigue due to low holy level is still zero: it's the cost of the spell * n, but the cost of holy spells is zero anyway.

Use priests with another path in addition to holy to avoid the bug.

ok but what about the extreme quickness? they were freaking casting spells 4 times per battle round PLUS --- get this, THEY WERE CASTING 4 TIMES AND MOVING! RUNNING AROUND THE BATTLE FIELD!!!


WHAT THE FRIK??? It's hardly normal for any spellcaster to be moving around.
