Default Abyssian and sabbath, what went wrong ?

I just tried doing a little sabbath in one of MP game and it went rather badly. When casting Sabbath master and Sabbath Slave, the slave was killed as intended but it still costed about 95 fatigue for the mages.

The same happened when casting hellpower during turn one with the intended master. 3 slaves were killed but 90+ fatigue was gained (lvl 4 blood mage). The sabbath master spell however did not give him any more fatigue and did use 1 slave.

Any clue how to avoid this apart from not using sabbath at all but use the communion spell with astral mages instead ?

Another problem I had is that the slaves decided to cast summon imp. That, of course, worked the same way and put them to 190+ fatigue. It also killed the remaining slaves that would have been put to a better use by the sabbath master. Any idea how to prevent them from casting unnecessary spells like this ?

From this behaviour it would seem that casting lvl 1 spells with lvl 1 blood mages needs to require a slave plus about 95 fatigue, which means that it is pointless to have lvl 1 blood mage at all in a fight since they will only be able to cast 2 spells before being fatigued for the entire fight.

Do I need to get lvl 2 blood mages and have them cast the spell with 2 blood slaves to setup a sabbath ? I find it quite stupid since the astral equivalent costs 20 fatigue and works with a lvl 1 astral mage.
