one was succesful, a tie actually, so they both died, she killed 2 astral magi in one shot - i guess I had them standing to close to eachother, all of them actually only master'd at the time. The slave spell came too late, so I guess it was luck of the draw.

I ran tests in a side game with 1 celestial master vs a number of communioned shaman. Once there where 8 shaman they seemed to be able to kill him more often, so I think the communion does play a factor on comparitive astral levels. but I could be wrong.

Since he was the one magic dueling, the best defence i could think of was a wall of astral mages, equally communioned - which is easier to research in a pinch than magic duel is.
