Success	Your Pudgy's level increases by 1.
Failure	Your Pudgy's level remains the same.
Frustration	The blessing is unsuccessful, and the Pudgy's potential is sealed. You can no longer level up this Pudgy and will only receive 10% of the rewards for its current level.
Hero Pudgy	This title is earned by raising a Pudgy to its maximum level (Level 9).

[Blessing Probabilities]

The outcome of a Bless attempt depends on your Pudgy's current level.
