This slavery thing is awesome...
Okay. So if all the communion slaves receive the bonuses to their paths as well, why don't we initiate communion with a weak mage and then just use the bonus paths from slavery for our real mages.
As in:
Thaumaturge: Communion Master, hold x4, stay behind troops
Grand Thamaturges 1-4: Communion Slaves, whatever spells they like at paths +2.
Or even use regular thaumaturges - heck, you've lost a spellcasting round and a single SDHH mage for the fight to upgrade 4 other SDHH mages to SSSDDDHHHH. That's a swap I'll make any day of the week.

That's a very intersting idea. Has anybody tried that? |

It appears not to work. Thaumaturge slaves in a four slave communion cannot cast Power of the Sepulcher.

Re: This slavery thing is awesome...
That's brilliant to the point that, if it works, it's exploitative. Does there need to be a living master on the field for the slaves to get the extra levels? Or can an Acolyte master walk off the field and let 16 Theurgs cast at +4 for the rest of the battle?
If the master needs to be present a Flame helmet could keep him over 100 fatigue so the slaves can get some work done.

Ah well, it's kind of good that it doesn't work, if it did it would be an exploit to the point of being a bug, really. I guess the extra levels for the slaves only count with respect the spells the masters cast.
