Notes

The in-game description of this passive feature is incorrect, and reads as follows:

Bless grants an additional 1d4 to Saving Throws and Weapon Attack Rolls, and an additional 2d4 to Spell Attack Rolls.

What really happens is that if a caster has this passive feature, creatures they cast Bless on gain two separate conditions:

It's possible to lose the regular Bless condition (due to the caster losing concentration) while retaining the Mystra's Blessing condition. In this case, the creature will be left with a 1d4 bonus to spell attack rolls and no other bonus, despite the tooltip of the condition claiming otherwise.
