[Sir_Dr_D]

This is good informaiton. I always thought yo needed a large comminion to cast master enslave. This will make things easier.

[edit: I wrote the following, but it seems that 2 other people wrote it at almost the same time that i did.]

A mage can only use a number of gems equal to their skill in the path of magic. A level one mage can only use one gem,while a level eight can use a total of 8 gems in a spell. Therefore if you a level 8 astral mage you cannot use any extra gems to reduce fatiigue when you cast master enslave because the spell takes eight gems itself, and you cannot use any more then that. But if you can are level 10 you can use 8 to cast the spell, 1 to raise your level, and 1 to reduce fatigue.
