Nature's Blessing

 Effect: Protects your land against Storms and Drought. Has a 20% chance of curing Plague (per cast).

This spell could cure plague in 1 cast, 20, or some other number that will drive you insane. It's normally a good idea to have this up if your race has a negative food growth nerf or if you are waving into a kd and giving ops.

Love & Peace
