So first i have no clue about anything witchy ( at least i don't think so)

Now context: apparently there is a curse that makes bad things happen to people who post fanfiction (i am an avid ff consumer)

I saw an ffauthor once say that they think they prevent the curse from talking effect on them by burning a candle as something like a sacrifice while writing

Now i have a few questions

1 would me a reader burning a candle with the intention of protecting authors from the curse help?

2 are there simple modifications i can make to the candle that would make it help more?

3 could one theoretically make similar modifications on cigarettes and simmilar to also help protect ffauthors?

Thank you for any advice you're willing to give
