In practice the effect is exactly the same, with the only difference being that autocasting items can autocast into forced communions with master and slave crystals, which realistically is way too expensive to actually do. I don't know why the game bothers having 2 ways of handling the same thing.

Did the slaves any magic paths? You actually need that for buff spells to carry over to the slave.
