I think the 5th level spell might have either been originally a buff that could be cast on others OR meant to apply bonuses to a mount that you might send off to do its own thing…only ideas I have for why it has wording that’s redundant with the aura.

In Critical Role this subclass was invented for a Hexblade character who picked up Paladin levels, and I think that's telling.
