Syntax: cast bless <character>
        cast bless <object>

This spell improves the to-hit roll and saving throw versus spell of the
target character by 1 for every 8 levels of the caster.  It may also be cast
on an object to temporarily bless it (blessed weapons, for example, are more
effective against demonic beings).

Blessing objects also improves character saves, making it more difficult to land maladictions on you.
