Thank you for the contribution val'Holryn. I wonder why people don't hate the val'Holryn family for breaking their monopolies on rare goods, like Ansharan Portals and Blast Powder. The val'Holryn do have access to Ss'ressen eggs, and while obviously a smaller supply, they could start selling their own. And with the Ansharan Portals, the val'Inares have fallen out of favor with others for moving into Abessios, so they would be more than happy to find an alternative.

It didn't. In fact, it had no effect on the Sorcerer-King whatsoever and was discarded.
Which makes one wonder.
If it had no effect on the SK, then why did Lucius Orata go to such trouble to have the same thing done to him?
Oh wow, that was shocking. Well, the Heroes walked away from the ordeal with a new Bloodline, so I won't blame the S.K for not trying. Maybe the Valinor must willingly grant their blessing, or maybe the S.K was already so inhumanly powerful that the bonus power had no effect. We do have evidence (not conclusive, considering it's from Loshnek), stating that he and the Master missed him dearly. He might actually be a Fallen Valinor, and couldn't "double up" on divine power. All conjecture for now.
