Vic, does discarding from the blessing deck work the same way?Is there a card right now that does not indicate that you discard the blessing from the blessing deck into the Blessings discard pile?
Advance the Blessings Deck: At the start of your turn, flip the top card from the blessings deck faceup onto the top of the blessings discard pile. You never acquire this blessing, though some cards may refer to it during your turn.I'd have to point out that you never get them. So maybe we have to change that?
When you discard a card from the blessings deck, it goes into the blessings discard pile unless we say otherwise.

So, and this is extrapolation that may therefore be incorrect, if you wanted them to go to the bottom of the Blessings Discard Pile, you would specifically spell it out and avoid using the word "recharge?"^ That.Recharge is already defined in the book:
Recharge: Put it facedown at the bottom of your character deck.So the cards go under your character deck.
Pretty much, what the spring does is it takes away time (removes blessings from the blessing deck) but 'heals' the character using it (puts cards into the character deck). Think of it as the person spending a bit of time soaking in the springs to get rejuvenated.
I suspect you intended to say "to the bottom of the blessings deck". If we wanted to do that, we would say: "On closing, you may banish a card to put 1d6 random cards from the blessings discard pile on the bottom of the blessings deck."

Except, it doesn't take time away from the blessings deck. The cards come from the blessings discard pile. And, I am surprised to learn, go into the character's deck.^ That.Recharge is already defined in the book:
Recharge: Put it facedown at the bottom of your character deck.So the cards go under your character deck.

Fair point.

Derp. Yes, I did.

Actually after all this nice discussion - and thanks Vic for the numerous clarification - it seems to me there is no need for a FAQ PROVIDING the stated rule implicitely means (italics added by me) :
Advance the Blessings Deck: At the start of your turn, flip the top card from the blessings deck faceup onto the top of the blessings discard pile. You never acquire this blessing at the time of flipping it, though some cards or power may refer to it (i. e. the card now at the top of the blessings discard pile) during your turn or allow you to manipulate that card later, when in the blessing discard pile.
This limits the impact of the "never" so it becomes compatible with the way the Spring is intended to work.
Keep in mind, "acquire" is a specific game term. There are already ways to "get a card" without acquiring a card. So the rulebook isn't wrong that you never acquire them, because it means "acquire" in the sense of attempting a check to acquire or being directed to specifically "acquire" the card.

That too. As usual, Hawk's right.
