Only the primary path of the spell in question is taken into account, though communions/sabbaths/choruses do boost all paths the Master has. Likewise, the Fatigue multiplier is calculated for each Slave individually. The minimum Fatigue cost for assisting in spellcasting as a Slave is 1. | Only the primary path of the spell in question is taken into account, though communions/sabbaths/choruses do boost all paths the Master has. Likewise, the Fatigue multiplier is calculated for each Slave individually. The minimum Fatigue cost for assisting in spellcasting as a Slave is 1. If a Slave cannot handle all of the Fatigue meant for them (due to it pushing them over 200), they take 1 [[hit points|HP]] damage [[internal damage|inside]] their [[afflictions#hit-area|head]], with the standard chance for more damage if their Fatigue would be pushed above 250. |

In the case of a Chorus, exiting is as simple as "Fatiguing out" by accruing 100 or more Fatigue. It should be noted that Choruses thus can't let their leading singers "juice" their back-up singers for multiple enormous spell castings, though the Angels with the innate "Chorus Slave" trait will resume singing in the Chorus once they've awakened. | In the case of a Chorus, exiting is as simple as "Fatiguing out" by accruing 100 or more Fatigue.

| ===== Grand Communion ===== |
| |
| {{:abilities:grand_communicant.png?nolink }} Grand Communions are assembled **outside of battle** by fellows with the **Grand Communicant** trait. The Grand Communion takes a turn to set up (during which the mages can't do anything) and lasts for the entire subsequent turn. It only affects Rituals, and only a few at that. |
| |
| While the Grand Communion is active, if **one** mage within it casts a **Global Enchantment** or a **[[Dispel]]**, the relevant magic skill levels of everyone else in the Grand Communion are added to the overcast. For example, if five {{path>A1W1S2}} ??Theurg??s and one {{path>W5S5}} ??Divine Emperor?? are in Grand Communion, the Divine Emperor would get an extra +10 for their overcast while casting ??Stellar Focus?? (an [[Astral]] Global Enchantment), but only an extra +5 for their overcast while casting ??Thetis' Blessing?? (a [[Water]] Global Enchatnment). |

| In short, Grand Communions aren't //really// Communions, but they're a way to save on [[gems]] in the late game (at the expense of time spent [[research|researching]] or forging [[items]]). |
