    Surely their magical being of choice will cure them, considering the sacrifice they made to honor it.

      That OBVIOUSLY won’t happen. Because MY magical being of choice is punishing them for worshiping the wrong magical being. 😤

        Use proper construction equipment when worshiping your god of choice
