The question isn't what's a good bless for angels, but should you even develop a bless strategy around angels? The answer is no. The earliest you can summon them is Conjuration-6 to get the Harbringer (A3H2 @ 25 pearls). Then you're going to want some Construction and Alteration to help them work as thugs. Angels are essentially a sideshow for Pythium (I'm actually working on a guide for them that I'll finish as soon as I wrap some games up with them). The real story and aresenal a Pythium player should focus on is Theurgs and communions, which are all sacred and benefit greatly from even a small Earth Bless (which incidently helps out Angels as well). Also, Pythium has some bad magic diversity and could really use a rainbow... and positive scales to boom with... and an awake SC for expansion... and production to build Principe with... you get the idea. I'd start with Growth-3 to keep my Theurgs alive and some Earth to revig my Communions.

On a somewhat unrelated note, does anyone have an opion on the viability of casting Thetis's blessing the same turn as numerous Arch Theurgs teleport into water provinces to take on some PD single handedly?
