Overview
Blessing is one of the core buffs in the Acolyte's arsenal, granting significant boosts to STR, DEX, and INT for the duration. It also cleanses Curse and Stone Curse debuffs. When used on Undead-race or Demon-race monsters it instead halves those same stats, functioning as an offensive debuff.
Mechanics
Blessing raises the target's STR, DEX and INT for the duration. On a friendly target, the bonus to each of the three stats equals the skill level. When cast on an Undead-race or Demon-race monster, it instead reduces all three of those stats by half, acting as a debuff.
Before granting the buff, Blessing also cleanses curses:
- If the target is suffering from Curse (and is not an Undead or Demon monster), that cast removes Curse instead of granting the stat bonus.
- If the target is suffering from Stone Curse (and is not cursed), that cast removes Stone Curse instead of granting the stat bonus.

- STR = +SkillLv
- DEX = +SkillLv
- INT = +SkillLv
Effect on Undead / Demon monsters
