I'm not sure bows would work either. Haven't tested it, but I think bows come after casting.

I'm not sure that addresses the original question anyway. All I can say to that is that I've never seen that behavior. I know I've seen slaves cast even when they had gotten multiple buffs the turn before. (As long as they act before the masters.) I haven't played with communion buffed thugs lately so I'm not sure there isn't some weirdness there. I'm not sure I've ever arranged for 10 buffs. I assume you were using matrixes?
