Has anyone tried a e9 blessing for abysia? It seems like it could be good for them. The lava warriors get really nice prot and the reinvig helps the high enc for the lava warriors as well as your mages. Pythium might have a similar benefit for e9? Although with both of those nations perhaps you are better off with good scales?

A n9 blessing for pan and jotun are common. f9 for Van and Man:LoT.

the problem w/ base aby blessings, is that it takes so long to accumulate a force its not really worth the bless - of course, e9 also helps your fire priests though

My favorite is earth 10 with Arcocephale.

As all my mages have astral it's easy to make lots of Shroud of the Battle Saint, then all my casters have a base reinvigoration of 5 and 9 protection / 0 encumbrance for only 5 astral pearls.

This is a great tip. I have been experimenting with e9 bless and Arco and had good results using priestesses and heart companions, but certainly this is a good addition. On a side note, one might argue that this applies to all nations that have access to astral...

Isn't it cheaper to go for relief?

Not sure E10 is worth it - too expensive for the huge extra cost. But E9 is great for Arco, perhaps mixed with another bless as well - I like E9 N4, or E9 D4, or N9 E4, key for me is having either a strong E or N bless with them.
