As I understand this filthy practice, a truly warped Orlanthi who wanted to could benefit from a Spell cast from a Grimoire, but a Blessing is cast on a congregation who must give extraordinary support to the Liturgist casting it. I'm not sure if Blessings can ONLY affect those giving extraordinary support, or, if so, the Orlanthi COULD give extraordinary support, but assuming either/or, he could benefit. The restriction is not, I believe, 'you can't have the blessing because it won't work', but rather 'you can't have the blessing because you are a foul unholy barbarian and I hate you'... Otherwise, curses become useless...
