I did consider whether making good art could help fund other global issues, but I think there’s too many variables. Whereas being able to make it rain would have an arguably more immediate impact.
That probably makes it a guarantee, but I think it would paint an enormous target on your back for governments or worse to want to experiment on you.
I think I’d agree with you and I’d want to blow up on social media first ensuring that if anything were to happen to me, like a sudden disappearance, that it would be easily noticed and there’d be uproar.
I feel like you’re asking me would I give up the ability to make art in order to gain the ability to make rain.
Yes. Yes I would. I would be sad but saving lives would be worth it. I can think of dozens of drought regions that desperately need rain.
This was my thought process as well.

Can we also control when to turn it off? xD
That’s a good point! This could be some real monkey’s paw stuff. Or if it has knock-on effects to global weather patterns.
Just make it rain over part of the Sahara. Even if it never turns off, you’re still fine

But maybe we can do it without anyone seeing? Like just turn up as a tourist (or NGO volunteer), wait a few weeks, then secretly make it rain.
I have a feeling it’d be a monkeys paw of sorts. Summoning rain would fuck up some part of an ecosystem.
