Lets get up a traditional thread. So ask any questions you would like about magick/magic/magik here. Anything no matter how trivial you may think it is and if you're embarrassed to ask a question, post it as a guest and those here will try to answer it.
The moderators for this forum are myself and sephity and as such I bid you welcome to the Magick board and remember knowledge not shared is knowledge lost, well that's more of a personal philosophy but it's true.

well my form of magick is slightly altered. I've researched various systems of spell craft and casting & combined it with psionics to create my own sphere of magick. Generally it is a system taht I crafted that works for me. Long rituals and spells aren't needed although they can help as a tool making the chance of the magick succeeding greater, but I rarely use them.
Some might call this the chaos system of magick although I wouldn't rank it amoung the chaos systems. The system was basically formed because I spent long hours practicing magick and psionics using long rituals to gain energy from a spell where I found psionic meathods worked more effectively at gaining energy for the spell while you used your will to focus that energy towards it's goal or target. While after that I found that although more difficult all one has to do is focus for an event to occur and to know that it will happen, this meathod would be more like trying to use your will directly and although harder to master it has it's advantages. With the standard meathods I got 30% success rate while when I used my combined psionics and magick meathods I got an 80% success rate.
The magick system that works for others may not work for you and the one that works for you best may be the one you forge yourself. Embrace yourself as an individual and as such your magick system.

*chuckles* Interesting...thats the exact same type of magic I practice. Of course, I also do some elemental stuff. I label this type of magic as "lazy, raw energy magic" Then again, we could just call it "psi construct programming" couldnt we? [/color]

true we could call it that, thus why I wrote a whole article on the simlularities being psioncs and magick. Which element, if I may ask? I tend to favour wind or air if you will.
