| 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 this cannot be accrued (due to the Slave already having 200 Fatigue), they lose 1 [[hit points|hit point]] instead, due to the strain. | Only the primary path of the spell in question is taken into account, though communions/sabbaths/choruses do boost all paths the Master has.

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 share little in common with other types of communions, except the name. Instead of happening in battle, Grand Communions occur on the strategic map and are used to empower casts of [[globals]]. |
| | |
| | Commanders with the Grand Communicant trait can use the command 'Grand Communion' to assist all other mages in the same province casting globals. While the Grand Communion is active, the relevant magic skill levels of everyone in the province using the 'Grand Communion' order are added to the overcast of any mages casting globals in the same province. 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]]). |
