I like the title, I think the multiple meanings inferred as funny. Although I will change it if you people want to.

Put a Crystal Matrix on a priest (with no other magic paths), and give him two communion slaves. He will cast multiple fatigue 0 spells every turn. Very nice for fighting Ermor.

One thing I'd like to talk about are items that can be double-equipped, like Bracers of Protection. I personally think that a select few miscellaneous items *should* be multiply equippable, such as bracers, which would normally be worn as a pair, anyway, as well as certain rings, etc.

Certain items just make sense to allow this, but I don't want it to remain as an exploit. I think there should be "dual-equip" ability tag that could be applied to items, that would allow the powers of more than one equipped item to add together.

I don't believe this would affect balance detrimentally, since it's still items occupying slots, and diversification is usually of much more value. So I feel it would add to strategy, to have such a feature, rather than create overpowered SC's.

Actually that might be a good idea.
The bugs that can be shown as being exploited might get more attention than those that are just irritating.

Wow, really? He will actually cast more than once per round?
