Re: Q about blessings
Bless definitely doesn't change the reach of chill auras, but native chill auras do stack with magic bonuses, be they from items or magic. I still say w4 is probably worth it depending on chasis, because you can really start stacking the defense bonuses on Jarls and get them above the coveted 30.
P.S., don't just think about magic in terms of blesses, think about how magic paths might be synergized into a greater strategy. For example, Gift of Health is N5 and will improve your giants already impressive HP propotionally. Or, note how Winged Shoes need Air-2 to be built, but will dramatically increase a Jarl's mobility. Some Jarls will get Air-1, but never Air-2. At last, the only Air enhancing equipment requires Air-4 to build. So, maybe consider getting Air-4 on your pretender.
