You've got to fix Mystras Blessing Staff from the Wizard tower

[Miqi]

It's one of the most misleading items / buff effects in the game which has confused many players (including me during early access), and by many players I mean literally every streamer I've watched play through this game.

When you use bless while having Mystras Blessing equipped, you're granted 2 buffs. Both bless and Mystra's blessing. bless the usual 1d4 and Mystra's saying "additional 1d4 attacks 2d4 spell attacks"

Additionally the text on the staff says "bless grants an ADDITIONAL 1d4 and 2d4.

Everything from the buff UI showing 2 buffs which would total 2d4 to attacks and 3d4 to spell attacks.

And the text on the staff suggesting the same effect.

However all of this is false as the combat log clearly states "attack rolled with 1d4" Or "spell attack rolled with 2d4"

It's incredibly misleading and poorly worded.

Something as simple as "Bless now grants an additional 1d4 to spell attacks" would fix it.
Or "Bless is transformed into Mystra's blessing, it now grants 1d4 to attacks and 2d4 to spell attacks".

But literally anything than what it is now.

Not only that but it also *only* triggers if you cast bless either from the staff or with a level 1 spell slot.
- Potions and effects that trigger bless doesn't activate it, like the ring? necklace? that adds a 2 turn bless on heal
- Upcast bless also doesn't trigger it

I just toyed aroud with this: Lvl 2 spell grants the buff lvl 3 and higher not.
My issue: It says spell attacks and "normal" attacks. So, at least, the mainhand attack of my Barbarian should profit from it. -It doesnt. I checked if Undying Rage would cancel it out, if used after receiving the buff. -not the issue. Checked an attack with a Pact Bound Weapon (charisma modifier). Also no buff to the attack roll. Why?

This brought me to other problems. The Daredevil Gloves: once in proximity, using any action other than a ranged Spell Attack makes the proximity buff vanish. When switching it back on, (click, the icon glows, combat log shows its active, doesnt cost an action or bonus action), the attack is, somehow, still rolled at disadvantage. (same as clicking close to open a container)

...and the finesse Longsword Phalar Aluve: As a Pact bound weapon (charisma), Rush Attack attack roll is charisma but damage roll is dexterity based and DC for off balance condition is 12 in the combat log, 20 on the tooltip information (DC*Charackter Name).
Pommel Strike and Lacerate attack roll is charisma, damage roll is dex. DC for the conditions bleeding and dazed is 14 in the combat log and 20 on the tooltip information.
The Hidden Strike animation is missing.
The Shriek affects the player/allies from time to time. Cant replicate this like the bug with the gloves but the tooltip information of my skills and their respective saving throws shows the character is affected by a 1d4 malus. (No impeding conditions. single enemy, first round, not surprised, all player characters higher initiative).

I don't think contacting them directly via email is appreciated, but I already submitted the bug via the form with screenshots and links to every instance of the bug reported on these forums I could find. ;)
