Default Re: communion (?)

Its really not that complicated.

You just need a collection of astral mages. Those you script to cast Communion Slave will be the slaves (Pythium communicants do this automatically). Those that script Communion Master will be a master.

Every Master will have magic paths boosted according to the formula thejeff laid out above. You can have as many Masters as you see fit. But each spell a Master casts will have its fatigue spread across himself and each slave. So if you have 4 slaves and a master casts a 100 fatigue spell, then he will get 20 fatigue, as will each slave.

Points to note about communions:
-Buffs on a Master will also buff all the slaves (Summon Earthpower for the reinvig is great here)
-Since communions require a good deal of mages, they are sometimes vulnerable to being broken when key mages are killed.
-Some attack spells exploit the Master/Slave connection. I think Soul Slay or Magic Duel... cant recall.
