    Just wanting to make sure, is it canonically possible to bless an entire rain? That seems OP AF and priests really need to get nerfed.

      Maybe the holy energy made is equal to the amount of times the song is played. We just need more famous artists to make blessing songs.

      I read somewhere that holy water supposedly spreads infinitely when mixed with regular water. If it also remains blessed after evaporating then it should be possible to bless all the water in world with some effort.

    Vampires are found independently in Africa, Asia, North and South America, India, Western and Eastern Europe, and especially in the Balkans. All these incarnations have common attributes of folkloric vampires, though their appearance and origins vary due to the cultural environment and the intent or purpose of the myth (i.e., social control). Thus, the vampire is not culturally specific, nor is it a particular phenomenon, but rather it is almost a universal explanation for the liminal state when coupled with its relatives. Each culture has created these mythical fiends as a way to explain folk hypothesis, thus individually perpetuating their existence.

    This made me think of two things: a parody version of the song that is about vampires, and that making the entirety of Africa into Rain World for vampires

    Toto: Keeping Africa free of vampires since 1981!
