Magic Duel Target Selection

[Chazar]

AOE1: I never understood that! Does this mean that a high-astral mage may protect a low-astral bystander?* Does a low-astral mage might mean doom to a high-astral bystander or to a non-caster standing too close to an astral beacon?

I think the AoE-1 is a work-around. IIRC, earlier Magic Duel would kill all the Communion Slaves of a master (if the master died), just as all personal buffs cast by the master affect his slaves.
