This.
I know it doesn't hold up long in a battle, but I'm trying to figure out the economic implications. How long is it likely to last, giving +1 to everything, if cast on a smith? A farmer? These guys can't afford $500/wk and probably not $500/mo, but they could sure afford it annually, and it seems likely to pay for itself if it lasts a year for folks in non-hazardous occupations. For mariners, I'm guessing it could pay for itself on a per-voyage basis with reduced insurance costs. Modifying with a fixed duration answers the question, makes the item version way over-priced, and generally limits blessings to the wealthy who can renew it regularly. My campaign assumptions yield $500 for a 1pt blessing; even the wealthy won't pay that daily, if that's the fixed duration.
