Newbie question regarding high water bless

[Jack_Trowell]

Note however that (maybe a bug), casting spells from items (not autocast), can be affected by quickness :

Take a nation with recruitable assassins, and a W9 blessing
Forge a shroud of the sacred saint for your assassin, and a skull charm (S1 and D1 needed)

Your assassin is blessed (and the +4 def is good), start with a longdead, and can summon 1.5 longded each turn, for only 5 fatigue (add a reinvigoration item , such as boots of the messenger)

Of course, the same assassin without the W9 blessing would still be very effective (assassin that summons anything always are), but the added punch of having a second longded is other turn can make the difference versus some powerful opponents.
