I think you're wrong there Ironhawk, on both Fire and Water blesses.

Flagellants, Warriors of the Five Elements, Vanir etc etc are all blessed, and I've always heard mentions of how multiple attacks make Fire 9 that much more powerful, and half-joking comments about the deadly flaming hooves. It's 6 points of AP fire damage in addition to each attack's normal damage AFAIK. It's like #specialeffect mod command.

In one action, one unit may target one square. All 9 attacks of a hydra would be directed at units in this square. Quickness gives another action, and thus another square to target. So W9 would give you double the killing power than the hydras would otherwise have.
