Good question. I have not tested this, but am 99% confident he is immune unless he's in his astral form.

Obviously even if he wasn't immune, magic dueling him would just knock him over to the next form, so he'd still be hard as all getout to kill.

This reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask. If a non astral mage is empowered to have astral is it subjec to magic duel?

[Tollund]

Of course, since the mage now has astral magic. Empowerment isn't a special case. It just gives a commander a new magic path.

I guess the easy solution would be to give the Chayot magic 1 in the paths and a malus of one, instead of the current stats. The ressurected chayot would then have 1 in each of the four paths - though this wouldn't solve the holy issue.

Then magic duel would be it's nemesis——a S3 mage would duel it multiple times gladly

if you give it an astral booster I believe it is vulnerable to magic duel.

The problem is.. winning 5 astral duels.. is unlikely unless you are really top end.

I'd be surprised by that, since boosters don't normally affect magic duel. Would it be dueling as 4, 0 or 1?

I'll try to experiment when I have time.

[chrispedersen]

4, I suspect. But I'd love it if the answer were 1.

Who wouldn't? LotNS plus magic duel FTW! Even if they don't boost their Chayot in S, it's toast...
