Yes. The percentage chance of death is significant and nonzero. It WILL happen: The percentage chance of any event, no matter how unlikely, so long as it is possible, when performed repeatedly for the express purpose of succeeding, is 100%.

Does that mean that if I magic duel with MY astral 1's i'll be able to slaughter all THEIR astral mages with little chance of death? Does being the one to initiate the duel matter that much???
No, the chance of death for a lower level astral mage is extremely high and can pretty much be treated as near certainty. Do not duel higher-level astral mages unless the target is of great importance, such as the enemy pretender, and/or the mages duelling are of little or no importance, such as expendable nationals.
