The sun got in his eyes. Easy mistake.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Maybe he was hallucinating. Thought he saw sacreds all around him.

Is Bless actually 100 precision? I know I've seen it miss before. Jotun Jarls seem particularly bad at blessing themselves.

Yep, according to the in-game stats Bless is:

Range = 10
Precision = 100
AoE = 5+
Fatigue = 0-

Maybe it's time to try my hand a spell modding... a "Bless Self" spell should be pretty easy to implement. AoE=Caster, same Fatigue, H1 to cast.

Yeah, I've put a load of priests out to inflict some carnage on an attacking horde of undead, and they just sat there casting blessing despite my orders to cast banishment. Still, the fact so many died saved me plenty of upkeep for the idiots.

If Bless is AoE:5+, then why did the Oni miss himself when he fired the bless so close to himself? And why does it say aoe1 in all those locations that he missed in?
EDIT: or do the 5 aoe1's combine together to form an aoe5?

The 5 AoE 1's combine.
Maybe that's the problem. A large AoE spell hits a number of areas around where it is targeted. Which particular areas are determined randomly, so even with precision 100, with only one target, the actual may not be one of the areas randomly chosen.

If I've got that right, an AoE 1 bless should always hit a single sacred target, just like the caster only version would.
