Don't forget about falling fires for the mid game. Until the fire resistant troops start showing up, your better off with your communion masters to spam falling fires. It doesnt have as much range, but the area affect is bigger and your communion doesnt take as much fatigue doing it. Also, you can use phoenix power to buff. Because of the range of falling fires you want your master to cast 1 buff spell for your communion before scripting falling fire. for instance. 1 master scripted : communion master/phoenix fire falling fire/falling fire. The next communion master scripts communion master/twist fate/ FF/FF and then add another for etherealness/FF/FF. You want to use the mages that come with 1S 1F as your slaves. One thing to be carefull of is your communion masters killing your slaves by spamming raise dead while the enemy is running away. 1 mid to late game spell you can shoot for is Enchant 6, the one that gives you the fire gem income. It is easy to give one of your lucky F4 mages the 2 fire boosters to cast this spell. You may want N4 on your pretender to make some shrouds for your old mages to keep them from dying.
