Actually, it is very uncomplicated. There are many threads on these Boards which will give you many details of this process, but here is all you really need to know:
- You must script your slaves "communication slave"
- You must script your master "communication master".
The *ONLY* requirement is that these mages be capable of casting these spells -- distance, timing, etc. is not important.
As soon as all of the people involved have cast the appropriate spells, your master will have his paths boosted. (This will take effect immediately, and you can use it in the next combat round.)
So basically, in round one, if you set all your slaves scripted to "slave" and your master(s) to "master", your master will be ready and boosted to the maximum in round 2.
No artifacts are necessary.

You can also script your mages as slaves AND masters at the same time. But in this case you will need to watch your fatique level very carefully. Still it can be very usefull in certain situations.

If you have two 1 Astral mages and one 2 Astral mage, then to boost the 2 Astral, have him cast Communion Master and have both 1 Astral mages cast Communion Slave. It does not matter what order they cast the three mages cast the spells in.

The "only requirement" tinkthank mentions is that your mags have at least 1 Astral. Your mages have this so you are OK.

With Master/Slave, some portion of the Master spell casting fatigue is transferred to the Slave. You have to watch fatigue because Communion Slaves can be killed by having their fatigue go to very high levels (>200 I think). I have never done it, but if you had a single mage cast both Slave and Master, then had it cast a high-fatigue spell, it might kill itself.
