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.

Toto's DM uses some very permissive house rules and Africans allow it because they like the result.

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.

This transitioned into the song as I read it.

It's really because Africans unite to keep the vampires. They really hold the line. Love isn't always on time.

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.
