A guide to buffing

Astral 4 would help with dueling, but not enough to matter that much, unless you are in a position to provide communicants.

AFAIK for the purpose of magic duel only the base astral level counts. Empowering through items or communion doesn't count.

You didn't mention prec-increasing spells - Eagle Eye and Aim.
They're not strictly "buffs" for mass-murderers SCs, but are pretty useful for any mage or missile user.

How much damage does BoW do? What about the inherent chill aura of some undead commanders?

I just wanted to add my thanks to QM for this guide. I only play against the computer and I did not realize that you could set five scripts for your commanders.

Thanks again QM for an awsome guide!
