Nope, you cant use Acolytes in this way. Mages refuse to cast Poison Resistance on themselves if they are already at 50% or above poison resistance. Additionally, spells which confer poison resistance (like Serpent's Blessing) have no effect on units with 50% resistance already.

False. I did it and it works.

Immaterial. Serpent Priests should lead Hydras, nothing else.

In fact it's just a question of spell AI priority, it seems individual resists cast by a mage with 50% resistance can often be overwritten. But it's not a rule.

Maybe if you have more spells it'will cast those.. if it's not full prove it's quite dangerour to mess around with though

Hmm, interesting! So LDiCesare, how did you get the game to cast it then? It refused in every attempt I made. The result was 100% PR?

I probably didn't have any other spell to cast except blessing, since I researched for that spell and it was in the early game.
Later I use serpent priests anyway.
