I've been playing around to find my personal cap with spells and noticed today that benediction at 70 mana was only giving me the faint message:
>>You suddenly feel more limber, your reflexes charged with a faint energy.
Was the bonus on it changed in some way? In Prime with a 50 cast I'm able to get a great bonus to all three stats.
Relevant factors are:
Strength : 30
Reflex : 30
Agility : 30
Devotion level: After a moment, you see a crystal-clear vision of your god who speaks slowly and deliberately..."
Casting @: 20 prep and 50 mana in the cambrinth
spell stance: 130% Potency / 100% Duration /70% Integrity

It's been scaled down from +33% to +15% cap*. You're casting at an effective 88 mana, so let's guess that that means +13%, for a total bonus of +3.
* The other cap of +15 was also removed, but you weren't bumping in to that anyway.

Whoa... Can you break down where you got those numbers? Particularly, the 88 (I assume the total mana times the potency?), the +13% (I assume total mana / whatever max for benediction is?) and the +3 (I have no idea...)?

Sure. He said he's casting at 70 mana with 130% potency. Spell stance applies to the mana you're using above min prep, and Benediction has a min prep of 10, so that 130% is applying to 60 mana. 1.3*60 + 10 = 88.
The bonus cap is now +20%, except the bonuses Benediction provides are outside your SoI, so that's reduced by 25%, meaning its cap is +15%. That's +15% at max mana, so eyeballing it, +13% at 88 mana seems reasonable. This one's just a guess, though.
His stats are 30, and 13% of 30 (round down) is 3. Hence +3.
