The first part is definitely not true--a spellcaster can take 200 fatigue from a single spell. It happens to me every time I cast Master Enslave.

I've played around with testing fatigue in communions, and I'm somewhat sure the slave fatigue is also capped at 200, but I don't remember explicitly testing it. I just seem to remember slaves taking full fatigue being one of the subjects of discussion at the time (although the main focus was on whether fatigue from a single spell was really capped at 200 or whether the caster would just refuse to cast a spell that would cost more than 200 fatigue), and I also remember being pretty sure after the testing was over that you could cast one spell without putting master or slaves over 200 fatigue, no matter how much fatigue the caster is supposed to take--fatigue-to-HP-damage conversion doesn't take place unless you're already at 200 fatigue.
