What is a priest's blessing range?

 

If a priest were to bless the Atlantic ocean, would it turn the entire thing into holy water or do priests have an effective blessing range?  If so, does the range increase based on their level?  And if so, can the Pope bless the entire ocean?

If a priest were to bless the Atlantic Ocean, each blessing would convert 1 pint of water. He must be in physical contact with a portion of the water to perform the blessing.

It's a level 1 spell, so if the priest were to max out his level and allocated all his spell slots to it, he could perform the spell several dozen times (~70 castings of level 1 or higher spells with good stats and other bonuses). Overall, that amounts to about 10 gallons/day max.

Based on an estimate of 264.17 billion gallons of waters in the Atlantic Ocean, it would take a maxed out priest roughly 72 million years to bless the entirety. Better make sure it's an immortal priest.

Even more complicated is the need of 5 pounds of powdered silver as a material component for the spell. That's over 21 trillion pounds of silver total. So... a very rich immortal priest.

These are the questions that keep me up at night. I know there's some smart ass out there that knows the answer. Maybe I should just Google it.

Just slightly less than wee Mrs Mc Dooky could throw the average American. Immeasurably tiny.

Well done. You have just cut through the bullshit of consecration.
