spell questions: Breath of Winter, Communion M/S

[FarAway Pretender]

I'm okay w/not explaining the math everywhere, but I also wish I had some better understanding of some of these things. The damage determination calculations are very tough to understand.

One of the posters here, Liga has done a GREAT job of documenting most of these in his "FAQ" document (60 pages long, download available from the Illwinter Games website). But there are some (somewhat more basic) things that are just not real well explained, that I'd hope to see some kind of explanation for.
