This CRT is firstly going to focus on Divine Blessings in Re:Zero, and the abilities inherent to their nature. Secondly, Reinhard's long list of Divine Blessings has been updated with better translations by the folks over at the Re:Zero wiki, so his page here should be updated too to fix errors. Like, where did mind-reading come from??
Limited Soul Manipulation
Divine Blessings affect the soul of the one bearing the Divine Blessing, and the one being targeted by the Divine Blessing.
Law Manipulation
Divine Blessings vanished when Magic Circles were used to invalidate the set rules/defined schemas which the world operates by. In fact, them vanishing was itself considered strong evidence for the world's rules being invalidated.
This would of course mean that Divine Blessings themselves are a set rule that the world operates by, which does make sense given they were added to the world by the mechanism that prevents the world from breaking. I'm not sure if being a "law" is itself "law manipulation", but it's closest definition I found.
Reinhard's new list of Divine Blessings
Feel free to check this list against his page to see the differences.

Reinhard's new list of Divine Blessings
Feel free to check this list against his page to see the differences.
Divine Blessing of the Sword Saint: His skill in swordsmanship is supernaturally increased to the limit of his theoretical natural talent, making him a genius in combat– be it swords, spears, or axes, so long as it is connected to battle he understands their strengths and weaknesses completely. It gives him the ability to draw the Dragon Sword Reid, and it lets him cut that which cannot be cut. He also receives flawless battle instincts, and can see floating white rays of battle drawn out by the Sword God that he need only trace with his sword to unquestionably kill his opponent.
Divine Blessing of the Phoenix: Upon death, he is granted a one-time "Continue?" so long as his soul is intact, resurrecting his body and cleansing him of negative effects. He has already used this Blessing when he was killed in his fight with the Sin Archbishop Regulus. While this Blessing could only be used once and he can't receive the same benefit a second time, he will acquire a new Blessing with a similar effect, Divine Blessing of the Phoenix – Next, and if that Blessing is used, he will acquire Divine Blessing of the Phoenix – Next Next, and so on endlessly, as the World won't let him die.

Divine Blessing of Vegetation: He can restore and revive damaged plant life.
The abilities he should gain thanks to these are;
- Resurrection (Low-Godly) from the Divine Blessing of the Phoenix.
- Resistance to Body Puppetry, Corrosion Inducement, Death Manipulation, and Pain Manipulation from the Divine Blessing of Anti-Magic, as it grants immunity to Curses which are capable of these abilities.
- Plant Manipulation, from the Divine Blessing of Vegetation.
Divine Blessing of Mind-Changing: He can change the mind of the person he targets with the Divine Blessing. Due to its potency, this Divine Blessing has been renowned as being dangerous to the rule of nations throughout history, and is powerful enough to turn an anti-nobility freedom fighter into the Captain of the Royal Guard. He willingly deactivated and deleted this Divine Blessing at the age of 4.
Divine Blessing of Wind Indication: He can read the wind and see invisible things just like the wind. He can also use it to read the situation of others' emotions, making him able to tell if someone has lied. Those who are skilled at hiding their emotions cannot be accurately read.
Divine Blessing of the Sun: He gets stronger during the day, and increases the effects of buffs.
Divine Blessing of Durability: The power of this Divine Blessing can be engraved into objects such as armour, vastly increasing it's durability so long as the person using the object does not run dry of Mana.
Divine Blessing of the Soul of Language: Enables him to be able to understand the meaning of sounds produced by any living creature to convey meaning, and speak with said living creature in turn. This even allows him to understand the nuance of words, so an unknown term such as "gasoline" would sound like "special oil that burns well". However he speaks in the language of the creature they're talking with, which can make him look shady to others. This Divine Blessing is dangerous to the user, as the influx of voices can drive one mad akin to a hellish cradle, and overusing it's power causes swelling of the brain.
Divine Blessing of Gathering Spirits: Spirits are naturally attracted to him, feeling a great sense of adoration. Lesser and Quasi Spirits are effected immediately, while developed Spirits only feel the attraction but aren't overwhelmed by it.
Divine Blessing of the Death God: Slashes imbued with the Divine Blessing's power leave wounds that are unable to be healed, even by cellular regeneration. The power of the Divine Blessing increases the closer he is to the target, and he can even reopen wounds others have if they are close enough and were originally inflicted by him. If the wound expands so does the effect of the Divine Blessing, if the wound was a light cut on the finger and the target cut off said finger this new wound becomes the target of the Divine Blessing. The effects disappear if the user dies.
Divine Blessing of Evaluation: He can determine if an item is of good or bad quality, and if the item is in front of him, he can evaluate its condition and quality with perfect accuracy. However, if he is evaluating an item he's never seen before, he can only know if it's of good or bad quality, and gains no knowledge of how it's used or how much it's worth.
Divine Blessing of Empathy: He can read the feelings of any person he touches, and is capable of making two people understand each other by simply touching them and standing inbetween them.
Divine Blessing of Bedroom Wiles: He is extremely skilled in bed.
Divine Blessing of Distant Vision: He can see the precise location of a target and closely observe opponents that fulfill specific conditions, regardless of distance or obstructing objects.
Divine Blessing of Ambushing: He becomes difficult to find or notice, and his presence is concealed from being detected by others. However, sounds and smells are not concealed.
Divine Blessing of Morale: The more excited or motivated he feels, the more his physical abilities increase in response. However, the Divine Blessing is a double-edged sword, since because it is affected by his mood, it also diminishes his abilities if he feels sad or enters a depressive state.
Felt's Unnamed Divine Blessing: He can use an ability, related to the wind, that seemingly allows him to move faster than he otherwise could, accelerate to top-speed in an instant, and parkour through cityscapes.
Divine Blessing of Insensitivity: He can't be interfered with by any outside influences, whether it be magical enhancement or impairment.
Divine Blessing of Wind Indication: He can read the wind and see invisible things just like the wind. He can also use it to read the situation of others' emotions, making him able to tell if someone has lied. Those who are skilled at hiding their emotions cannot be accurately read.
Divine Blessing of the Sun: He gets stronger during the day, and increases the effects of buffs.
Divine Blessing of Durability: The power of this Divine Blessing can be engraved into objects such as armour, vastly increasing it's durability so long as the person using the object does not run dry of Mana.

Divine Blessing of Insensitivity: He can't be interfered with by any outside influences, whether it be magical enhancement or impairment.
The abilities he could gain thanks to these are;
- Soul Manipulation from the Divine Blessing of Mind-Changing, as affecting the mind also affects the soul[5], as the mental has been[5] equated to the spiritual[6].
- Clairvoyance from the Divine Blessing of Distant Vision.
That's about it. Thoughts and corrections are appreciated, thanks.

,what is said about "Constraints of the world" is clearly that word is superfluous , the magic circle mechanism is nothing more than cutting off world connections.
