Right.

Using a Celestial Master as a slave just seems like such a waste.
Agree, although it's still doable when everything else fails.

Hoping for a nice pick for a Master of the Way might give me 1-3 in two dozen turns, but that doesnt sound like a decent strategy upon which to *rely*.
Sabbath slaves act just as communion slaves for communion purposes. Two 2 dozens MotW should give you 6 potential slaves on average, if you do a bit of blood hunting.

So I figure: manufacture Matrixes and put them on the Masters of the Dead.
Doable but expensive, don't rely on it too much. Although having a couple Slave matrixes ready to use would be a good insurance in your case.

Quote:
Or research up to Conc 7 and cast Forge, then anyone can forge them?
You can't rely on that either.

Quote:
What other options are open to me?
There are no easy options for nations who lack easy access to a cheap astral or blood mage. One of the most common ways is to rely on lucky placement of independents. Look for amazon provinces above anything else. The Crystal/Garnet priestesses both make good cheap communion/sabbath slaves.
