If it is of any comfort, a blessing probably wouldn´t have helped you much in that last battle. I think you are overestimating your sacreds if you think so. Touch of madness was probably the worst possible spell at the time though, so your frustration is understood. I can´t deny it was hilarious to see that couatl berzerk himself.
Arcane bolt against my gargoyles on the other hand...lucky me I sent the devil.
