can MR be higher then 18 by any means? As far as I uderstand it's impossible to do it with bless, but may be any other options?

Oh yeah. Slap a Antimagic amulet on your pretender and see for yourself.
~30 isn't uncommon for lategame SCs.

Re: Max MR
 

its just that astral blessing cant pump MR to make it higher than 18.
For ex if a unit has 16 and you have a +4 MR blessing the unit will benefit only +2.
Items can pump a units MR however.

Also many spells to improve mr. Antimagic, resist magic, iron will.

To notice:
MR effect stacks only for different items. You can't add 2 amulets of antimagic to one commander - you'll get effect only from 1, but if you give him amulet, lead shield, astral cap and rainbow armor - you'll get MR boost from every item.
Combat MR spells do not stack. IE: you can't cast resist magic and iron will on the same character to get a huge MR boost, you can cast only 1 spell.
MA, LA Ermor and LA C'tis have priest spells increasing MR, they also do not stack with combat magic spells.

The mr from Astral bless does stack with mr from spells or items, but cannot raise mr above 18.
Does it matter what order the spells are cast in? (Obviously any items will be in place before spells.)
For example, a 14 mr sacred is blessed and gets an 18 mr. If Antimagic is then cast, does that raise him from 18 to 22?
