Let me start by putting this in context. The level 1 power of the Magic (Divine) subdomain says "Whenever you are the target of a divine spell". This obviously only applies to targeted spells, not AOE's, since it doesn't have wording about "or within its area" like the Persistent Metamagic feat, which intentionally covers both.
But what about area spells that only affect specific creatures in their area? The obvious example is Bless, which affects all allies within 50 feet of the caster. Somehow, the spell knows allies and non-allies apart, and targets only the allies. But does that count as being the "target" of a spell in game terms that doesn't have a "target" line in its spell description? Would that qualify for that subdomain power?
If the spell says it affects "x" number of creature then it targets the creatures.
If it just says "all creatures of "y" type within "r" radius are affected." Then no.
The difference being the first targets creatures and the second targets an area.
