Default About the blessing hotfix part

The blessing hotfix mod includes a textual description of the entire Mod - but the only thing it actually *does* is change the #spec fields for the five blessing spells so that nations other than Ermor can bless any sacred undead they happen to have. It also allows LA Ermor to bless any sacred living units *they* happen to have.
A (?) in the list below indicates I've never actually seen the unit in play so I'm just guessing who gets it.
As to why this hasn't been changed in the main game - I have no idea. My assumption is: "It's not a bug, it's a feature". /me Shrugs. The impact on gameplay is relatively minor, as a rule.
I did a quick check and didn't notice that they've changed it (and I didn't see any mention in the changelog for the new patch) - if this has changed somehow, please let me know before I make a worse fool of myself.

The following units are affected by this change (becoming blessable):
(All Positions)
Mound Fiend
(LA C'tis)
Grave Consort
Tomb Priest
Tomb King
Tomb Wyrm
First King (?)
Reassembled Prince (?)
(LA Pangaea)
Carrion Lord
Carrion Lady
Carrion Centaur
Ettin Mandragora (?)
Sagittarian Carcass (?)
(Mictlan)
Civateteo
King of Legends (?)
(LA Ulm)
Ghoul Guardian
Ghoul Baron
(T'ien Ch'i, Sauromatia)
Ancestral Spirit
(LA Agartha)
Tomb Oracle
Sepulchral

So, as you can see, it's a fairly big deal for three late age positions - other than that, the main beneficiary is MA Ermor, b/c you can bless your shadow vestals and your thaumaturgs at the same time. There are ongoing complaints that the scripting AI for MA Ermor occasionally does strange things with regards to blessing, which this should also address.
