What Changed?
No modern conversion is assumed. The percentage-based growth, recovery and fertility effects remain confined to the preserved d20 rules.
Using Bless Growth in Play
Bless Growth is a downtime and community spell more than a combat spell. Its strongest uses are protecting harvests, improving recovery during a journey or supporting a household through a difficult season. Keep its percentage-based effects confined to the legacy rules.
Counterplay and Related Magic
Bless Growth is explicitly opposed by Blight Growth in the legacy rules. Counterspell can prevent the casting where the edition permits it; Dispel Magic can interact only while there is an ongoing magical effect to dispel.
