Communions don't, but astral-enhancing spells do.

About Seraphs here is a basic one, total cost of 180 gems ( 100 wish, 15 GoR, 65 equipment ):

Here is one that I empowered 1 level of astral and then wished for power, total gems 355, so aproximatly x2. I wonder if this is worth 2 of the above?

Hmm... I am not seeing the images. Any idea what is wrong with my image tag?

Okay, I just checked. An S8 Titan boosted to S10 with Light of the Northern Star and Power of the Spheres used 10 pearls to cast Master Enslave (ending with 200 fatigue). Spell boosters enhance the number of gems you can use.

In fact, I'm not even sure that it's correct that communions don't enhance the number of gems you can use. Why do people talk about using 32-communicant Communions to cast Master Enslave with S2 casters if S2 casters are still limited to 2 gems? However, I have little firsthand experience with Communions so I've never tested this myself. My comment above should have been "Perhaps communions don't..."

regarding the images that huzzurdadi posted. I noted that hydra skin armor grants more protection (22) that it claims (10?), and that happened with other armors like the 5-gem blacksteel armor giving the protection of the full version 10gem one.
No, no natural protection as I seen that on humans wearing them.

The image shows a seraph which have a basic protection of 14. The hydra skin armor works correct, i use the very often and on a (human) scout for example it has 11 protection like the description of the armor says.

Do you really think a Vine Shield is a worthwhile addition? I haven't used them much, but my reading is that it'll sometimes vine up people who attack. But a Seraph doesn't need more ways to slow down chaff (given its awe/fire/blind effects), and I'd rather have even large foes swinging at him than not. Give him a better weapon, either one of the Brands for AoE or something AP for big foes, then maybe a weightless tower shield (in case of crossbows) or a lucky coin, or else a big fat 2H weapon for more smackdown on big enemies.

What about mind duel. Isn't the seraphine vulnerable to it?
Perhaps an air SC for cloud trapeze.
