Re: can commander with no magic paths with slave matrix be used as a comm.slave?
Randoms on magic paths are being evaluated on unit creation. Once this is finished, a unit either has magic powers or not. There is no other attribute which tags a unit as a magic user. So no, units without magic powers at all won't reduce fatigue.
They will receive self-buffs as Communion Slaves through slave matrizes, yes. The mage has to stop casting after a while, though, either by fleeing or engaging in melee, or the slaves will never act on their own. Another tactic that somebody wrote about is to just power up the slaves with Fire Shield, Astral Shield and other passive defense spells as "blockers" that prevent enemies from reaching the mages behind their defense line.
