    This is a general problem with the common A_AID set of bonuses/penalties. Most of the things which employ it, describe it much the same as Invocation.

    Exceptions:

    • Crushing despair, wizard spell: "-2 morale penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, spellcasting, and weapon damage rolls"
    • Magic circle vs. Chaos, wizard spell: "-3 penalty to all chaotic creatures' attacks and saves"

    What it actually does, is give to hit bonuses, defense bonus, saving throw bonuses and casting bonuses.
