The Baalz guide seems to indicate so, but only for the puposes of taking fatigue... which would be what you're probably after. That would be very effective with warlocks if it was the case.

I also wonder... if you have just one high level mage be the slave, can't your little mages be spam casters? Say if the FoB 10B is the slave, you get sacked early on, and all your magelings cast Agony? The 10B blood fountain can cast agony a whole bunch of times, far more than most armies could ever endure.

No. Slaves casting communion slaves *without* a master do not have their levels boosted.

However, untested, and yet I believe it to be true - once any communion master is cast, the slaves retain the boost even if the master dies or retreats.

Its not a general boost. It only applies to fatigue generated by spells cast by masters. So while the effect may persist if the master dies/retreats, it can't do anything.
