communion (?)

[thejeff]

The Astral spells Communion Master and Communion Slave. (Also Blood spells Sabbath Master and Slave and the Crystal Matrix items.)

Communion Slaves don't act themselves, but boost the Masters path levels and take his fatigue. They also share any spells he casts on himself, which allows some interesting tactics.

Unlike normal spellcasting, where a caster goes unconscious and stops casting fatigue hits 100, Communion Masters will keep casting after the slaves fall asleep and will often drain them to death (they start taking damage after 200 fatigue).

2 slaves gives a +1 boost to all paths the Master has
every time you double the slaves, you get another +1
