Astral 2 mages need a skullcap to teleport, while air 2 mages can cloud trapeze, so it's not really redundant.

That's why I said 'a bit'. It's surely more redundant to CotS than it is to Caelum or Vanheim.

You don't need a communion for Wind Guide. And Orb Lightning, huh? Communion-backed Orb Lightning isn't as tempting when the guys you're using as communion slaves can cast Orb Lightning themselves. 8 Chartmakers slaves will give +3 bolts to each master, but you're losing 8 bolts when doing this. Make that 16 if you're using Storm Power. You need a lot of communion masters to make up for the loss - and the more masters, the more likely you'll lose your slaves to exhaustion.
The Wind Guide is for precision, I didn't mean that communion was a requirement for it.

Thunderstrike is fatigue heavy, and the spell AI often casts Orb Lightning on it's own after the script ends. IMHO, communion works better than to have the Chartmakers cast Orb instead.
