Hellpower will astral mark all the mages involved in a communion. And I think you will need several castings of horror mark to exceed the marking from hellpower.

Personally, if it was just a small number of SC's I'd gamble on the charm working and ending combat before the horrors show.

OR

What can be fun is Ritual of returning bringing your entire communion back - but leaving berserk maenids...

And pray the horrors show...

Astral geysir does a two point horror mark (if the geysir just hits), and it seems to be more than enough to draw the horrors. At least I've had an Astral geysir cast on my pretender while the opponent had a hellpower communion going, and the first horror that spawned went straight for my pretender. So did the next two too who spawned, and although the pretender survived the fight, he didn't survive the doom horror that came for a visit afterwards

It's been well over a year since I used the hellpowered communion, but I don't seem to remember the hellpowered pans getting horror marks, just the chance to spawn horrors. Although the horrors spawn near to the hellpowered mages, and if there is no horror marked toons on the field, they seem to attack the closest thing (which then immediatly gets a horror mark, unless croaking of the first hit). Need to test in SP if my memory is failing that bad (wouldn't be the too suprising if that was the case).

See, my memory *is* getting worse. I *knew* there would be consequences when one lives more than four decades
