Are you sure about that?
Read the section on reverse communions in the big thread, this very strongly suggests that the magic levels of the slaves are boosted, otherwise there would be no point in reverse communions. Does anyone have any confirmation of how this really works (preferably ASAP as I'm going into a big battle using communions and I'd like to know how they work).

thejeff is right. That's the point of normal communions, the slaves boost the masters.

Slaves are only boosted by masters if the master casts a path-boosting buff:

Power of the Spheres
Summon Earthpower
Phoenix Power
etc.

Yes, I can confirm this. The point of a reverse communion is to boost a whole lot of slaves by 2 levels - one for ie. phoenix power and one for power of the spheres. In the case of the reverse communion the slaves get no bonus directly from the communion, but a +2 bonus is enough to get a level one mage up to the mainline evocation spells which require level three mages - falling fires, blade wind, thunderstrike, etc.
