Default soul drain

I have a question about soul drain .If communion master casts it -is only him will have this enchantment or each person in communion. like with PoS?

It's a kind of battle enchantement which connects caster with the well and he gets reinvir and regen from all unitsa in the battlefield. And - if 2 mages from one side can use it in the same battle.


And it's S3D3 spell, which requires S gems. So main line is S. How would communion slaves with zero D(after PoS though) will get fatigue form this spell

It's a battlefield enchantment, not a caster only spell, so the communion slaves won't get anything from it, other than casting fatigue.
Only one per side in a battle.

Only the main path is counted for fatigue, so the slaves lack of death doesn't matter.

All of that is theoretical, I haven't tested that particular setup and Dominions surprises me regularly, but that's how it should behave.

NB: haven't tested or cast this spell.

This one behaves differently than most battlefield enchantments, however, in that it has a special effect for the caster. Which, in turn, is the mechanism whereby reverse communions operate. Upshot - it would be interesting to test...
