Undead Killing

Vicious Love said:Also, if you're positively desperate for The Ultimate Banishment, I suppose a little Hell Power never hurt anyone.

Speaking of ultimate banishment, it's a zero fatigue spell. A couple of of pythium divine casters leading a a communion of 8 or more communicants and blasting away at undead hordes with massively powerful banishments is a sight to behold. because banishment doesn't cost any fatigue, a few communicants can easily empower any number of theurgs. (without being killed for a change )
With enough matrices any nation can do that though it's cheapest for Pythium, obviously.
I used this tactics agains Ermor once, and had it used against me a few times, it is extremely powerful against big hordes, though not very effective against SCs. And be prepared to lose the communicants after the fifth round if the battle isn't won by then.

Banish still costs the base spellcasting fatigue every time you cast it.

Even if you have to empower or buy a matrix from another player, it's usually cheaper to get an earth mage communion/sabbath master and Summon Earthpower.

or a nature mage, maybe lizard shaman for astral and nature?

Yeah, but that isn't enough to kill communicants, not unless you exceed a 2:1 ratio. The usual communicant-killers are mages who use the "good" opportunity to cast high-path spells with obscene fatigue costs, not continuous casting of low-fatigue spells.

Speaking of Hell Power and Communion, if a mage casts Sabbath Master, Hell Power, and retreats then do the slaves benefit from the Hell Power? Do Horrors come for each of them?

This has to be good for something...

Absolutely. And I can think of a bunch of situations in which a few dozen lesser horrors would be useful, even if they did almost certainly take out your own mages first. I'm not sure it'd be all that cost-effective under most circumstances, though.
