Did you test only with the matrixes or also with casting of Master? I havent tested yet, am away this weekend in Brandenburg, will be back monday.

Argh, this really is a nightmare though, especially for Pythium, and also for anyone with easy access to matrixes (Arco and Ryleh primarily, even Machaka and Van or basically anyone with either and astral or an earth and a random).

The in-battle transfer of the Crystal Shield is bad enough (argh!!!!), but it's the rituals that get me -- an entire army of freely "ritual of returning" starspawn, egads!

I wish I didnt find this, but it is true -- without meaning to, I have over 50 Communicants with Ritual of Returning on them in 1 turn, for free, and this is EXACTLY what I want on Communicants. Argh!
