Just make spellbane protecting villagers
against area spells as well as directed ones
Area and directed spells both are just spells.
there is no point to distinguish them
else you well get problems with balance.
(as the example with defenders demonstrates)
Considering poncho and bloodthirst,
poncho is rare to come, unless you make
it from lamias, etc.
and bloodthirst has its drawbacks so
often berserkers turn it on only
to protect themselves against area spells
(not because of +hit/dam or whatever)
in raiding situations it is not fun
to fight archons or zombies because you are thirsted.
