Nethgul+Crystal Matrix: Can Nethgul Be Trusted?

Single target spells will affect all members of a communion. Blink is single target, I believe.

I think single target spells only normally affect the caster and all the communion slaves, but not the other masters.

sum1lost, is that sum1won under a different name?

The Nethgul should definitely not be casting blink... since this spell can easily kill the wielder of the Nethgul, sounds like a bug or bad coding.

well, he does cast horror mark on the wielder from time to time, which can also be a large problem, so I actually have to be inclined more towards WAD. He's an ancient starspawn in a bottle - of course he's a little nuts.

I've had random blinking with nethgul before too. Usually, it works out fine.

Why the hell should he not cast it? There was already a thread about Nethgul and IIRC somebody (KO?) said that his grimoire is fairly limited, only half a dozen spells or so. I think Blink was on that list, even though what he casts is more or less random. He's nothing more than a fancy gimmick.

But he's a _fun_ gimmick.

??WHY ??!!? Well in battles where you have 50 mages/commanders with 500 troops verses 55 enemy mages/commanders with 580 troops you don't want blink to drop your single commander/mage next to the enemy dispossed spirits and banes where some nearby enemy necromancers will disintegrate you on the next round.
The spell blink does can drop you into dangerous locations.
