Only the masters get a casting level boost from just having communion slaves.

Dang, thanks for that clarification, VFB. I for one (and there are likely others) was under the mistaken notion that slaves had their effective caster levels raised, just like masters.

After reading your post, I went and re-read Baalz' communion guide (carefully, this time ), and sure enough, in the bit about reverse communions, it spells out the need to cast booster spells to raise slave levels. A very important fact to get straight.

Ttheir caster level but only when calculating the fatigue cost the slaves takes from the master's spell.

It's the reason why a 4-slave communion can cast more than twice as many spells as a 2-slave communion.

I meant to say "It actually affects their caster level"...
Somehow my post didn't turn out that way.
