lower upkeep & ability to get bless effects

Well I mean besides that. Those are the benefits for sacred troops no matter what. I mean: why do sacred troops make good communion slaves?

Well, I haven't tried the Communion really hard yet, but Communion Slaves are normally mages, and you want them in numbers - anything that lowers their upkeep is going to be nice.

As for the blessing - well, if you have, say, an Earth blessing, all of your slaves suddenly have Reinvigoration, which should help them remain in better shape. One Reinvigoration may not seem like much, but if it's multiplied by 4 or 8, it starts to pile up...

Plus, any spell that the master casts on himself also affects the slaves, so the blessing can be easy to distribute without concentrating the slaves on the battlefield.
