I don't think MAR does affect the Bard's bless in the current version, I
just think that it is now really crap.  You have a crap chance of success
and a crapish result most times when you do succeed.

I base this on using characters with Bard levels over 30 on others that
have varying MAR.  This result is normally the same, failure due to
inexperience!

Looks like the Bless Spell will make a come back if you want that +100%
on your general in a battle.  Conversely, the reverse with curse.
