Default Re: Newbie question on communion

It's so they don't have so much fatigue to rip through I believe. Communions above 4 Slaves really start adding up and since the fatigue is evenly spread you regenerate 20 fatigue a round (with 4) no matter what type of spell you cast. Plus remember that each slave gets the spell of their master. So if the Master casts Summon Earthpower, all the slaves under him have 4 Reinvigoration as well as the 5 normal fatigue healing from being over 100+ fatigue.

Plus any reinvigoration from an earth blessing on your pretender.

Only if the communion master or the communion slaves are sacred and either the Slaves must be blessed, or the blessing cast on the Master *after* he casts Communion Master.

Power of the Spheres is not that far up the research tree, particularly if you are using a lot of astral magic. My plan was one unit would cast that on the first round while everyone else cast Body Ethereal. This would then reduce the cost of casting Communion Slave for fatigue (I think), making it even more effective and give almost everyone great defense.

Power of the Spheres only affects the unit that is casting the spell. Maybe you are thinking Light of the Northern Star? A more cost effective way is to have someone carry a Banner of the Northern Star, as it casts it for free.

Then you can have your slaves cast Communion and they would have 2 Astral during the battle.
