Default Re: Magic Duel?

As I read the Last bost, I realised that the problem is not what Magic Duel does to the loser, but the fact that few mages can easily kill many others weaker in Astral. Then it occured to me, that maybe rising the fatique of the Mind duel would help. Of course, with Astral 4 mage even fatique of 150 would only be 150/(4-1), that is 50 points. But that would slow them down, atleast.
Still, it is quite hard to lose your perfectly good mage to a spell directly targeted to him. I'm not sure should MD be toned down, but it IS the only spell that targets magic-Users.

If we knew what IW meant it for, I think the comments would be more helpful to them. Did they mean it as a mean to Pythium/Arco kill off weaker mages of other races? Was it meant to disable astral mages? Kill communicants with one pick of astral? A way to kill that mute sphinx?
Killing a pretender is quite hard. I think losing in a mind duel should (only) give enough damage to kill most mages, not all big creatures who happen to have a pick of astral!
