It has a 50% chance of hitting any particular square each round. It's pretty useful if, for instance, you have an E9 blessing and sacred mages and he doesn't. Your mages will regain 4 FP per turn on average (5 base + 4 for blessing) and his will regain 0 on average, assuming neither of your mages is undead.

Like Darkness, it also tends to equalize troops. Defense suffers twice as much from fatigue as attack does, and Prot suffers even more, so when the troops have an average of 70 fatigue each you'd rather have 500 chaffy troops than 200 elite troops. In a way that sort of makes it a counter to Army of Gold/Lead.

Obviously the best combination is to have Rigor Mortis + sacred Death mages spamming Raise Dead.
