"Affinity for enchantments" :S
Similar cards (but for artifacts and
): Gearseeker Serpent and Qumulox.
Reworked the card wholly.
Added the enchantment type for maximum chant shenanigans.
As maiar spirits these probably want to be "Spirit Soldier" creature enchantments. That however, would feel pretty weird if the tokens themselves don't have flying since usually 1/1 white Spirit creature tokens have that. Enchantment creature spirits are too abundant in the set anyway, so I'll probably replace the "Spirit" type with something less generic on some of the cards. I think the enchantment type gets across that they are Maiar pretty well and is mechanically relevant in the set unlike the Spirit type.
Changed the illustration and shortened the flavor text. Now grants lifelink instead of flying and creates two 2/2 Knight tokens with vigilance instead of four 1/1 enchantment Soldiers.

Might need to modify the name a bit to make it more evocative of the current effect. "Heavenly" screams flying to me and "Host" indicates 3+ dudes.
Was an overabundance of enchantment creatures the reason why the enchantment type was removed from the tokens?
> "Heavenly" screams flying to me and "Host" indicates 3+ dudes.
I agree and that's how it was initially. Some other factors in the set's design pushed it into this, and later on I deactivated it. I would consider returning it to the set with its original form, but I think it would be too similar to Moon Dew.
