Body Ethereal is a spell with a range of 1 and AOE of 1, which means it affects the entire square, and can be cast on people in neighboring squares: The caster prefers to cast it upon himself first, however, so it will affect your comm slaves if they share the square.

Mages actually prefer to cast it on your pretender first, before themselves, assuming it is in range.

Or hydras. What is their preference based on? Size? Hp? Some measure of overall badassity?
