-Blessed on a critical success, cast their spell using no points, and on a fail, the spell doesn't cast but still expends points.
-Shaman in a critical success will cast their spell for free, and on a failure, take 1D6 damage and expend the points needed to cast the spell.

+Any successful attack rolls made with this, are considered critical hits.
