I'm not sure about the rounding either.

I tested it using a group of Shaman in a province with a heat scale that gave them a spell casting encumbrance of 5. The data is listed below:

The first test was with three shamen. Two cast communion slave, the other cast communion master. The slaves were set on {Communion Slave)(hold)(hold)(hold)(hold)(Stay Behind Troops) to keep them from casting spells for a few turns. The master was scripted to (Communion Master)(Star Fires)(Star Fires)(Star Fires)(Star Fires).

The fatigue after the first turn was 25 for each mage. After the second turn, where only the master cast anything, the fatigue was 32 in each mage. With four slaves and a single master, the fatigue after a single casting of star fires was 27. With 5 slaves, the fatigue after a single casting was 26. With 6 slaves, the fatigue on each mage after a single casting of star fires was 26. In a dominion that raised the spellcasting encumbrance to 8, the fatigue with 6 slaves for star fires was 30 (28 after communion, +2 each casting). In a heat 1 dominion, with encumbrance of 4, the fatigue after star fires was 25 all around. For the Last test, the master cast mind burn with 6 slaves, the fatigue on each mage was 27 at that point. I'm not sure exactly how the rounding works, as there's quite a few ways that the data could work out with those numbers.
