 ======Magic Duel======
-??Magic Duel?? is an early-game [[combat magic|combat spell]] that any astral mage can cast at Evocation 3 for one pearl. It pits the caster and a random opposing astral mage in a duel which will always leave one or both dead. This spell remains impactful throughout the game as it makes any astral mage vulnerable.
+??Magic Duel?? is an early-game [[combat magic|combat spell]] that any astral mage can cast at Evocation 3 for one pearl. It pits the caster and a random opposing astral mage in a duel which will always leave one or both dead. This spell remains impactful throughout the game as it makes any astral mage vulnerable. The very existence of this spell is a consideration if taking astral paths on a [[pretender]] which might be desireable as a [[super combatant]], as it provides a very cheap unresistable means to kill any non-mindless astral mage with a little luck.

 The astral path is not boosted by any means: Item [[boosters]] like ??Crystal Coin?? or ??Skullcap?? or spells like ??Power of the Spheres?? and ??Light of the Northern Star?? do not affect the outcome. Having [[empowerment|empowered]] a mage does boost its base path.
+The negative path boost of trinities at pretender creation will apply to Magic Duel, while the path loss from splitting them up is not counted for the purpose of base paths.
