In other words, do the path boosting spells (PotS, Earthpower, Phoenix Power, etc.) boost the slaves' fatigue path levels as well as their actual path levels?
Let me run a quick test.

Tien Chi Geomancer + 2 Ministers of Magic.

First run: Geomancer set to cast Earthpower (with a gem), C.Master, Blade Wind.
On Blade Wind, slave fatigue goes from 23 to 191

Second run: G set to C.Master, Earthpower, BW.
On Blade Wind, slave fatigue goes from 47 to 200. Crap. Gonna need a bigger set.
-----
First run with 4 slaves (2 Ministers, 2 Geomancers)
On BW, Minister fatigue goes from 23 to 67.

Second run with 4 slaves
On BW, Minister fatigue goes from 27 to 67. Factor in the 4 from reinvig, and the fatigue bump's the same.

Ergo: Non-existing paths don't get boosted in slaves.
