Ciekawie opisane podejscie do konstruoowania czarów - po angielsku

Amorte,

Istnieje taka strona, która pomimo że nie wygląda jak jakaś bardzo przydatna skarbnica wiedzy, zawiera bardzo ciekawy opis podejścia do tworzenia czarów.

Myślę, że każdy początkujący powinien to przeczytać. Jak ktoś ma czas i chęci może dobrze było by to przetłumaczyć na język polski.

Practical magic requires you to understand your:

    Power Source
    Proficiency
    Purpose

Given this information, the first thing to do is to determine where the power for your spell is going to come from. False magics are ones that rely on nothing or just say "belief will do it". Belief, at face value, is wishful thinking unless there is some kind of mechanism to make the whole thing work. To this end, the power source of your spell should, ideally, be identified and isolated. For example, if a caster was using a necromantic technique and wished to heal a friend, it would be to the detriment of someone else. This is an aspect known as vampiric necromancy (discussed further on the advanced page). Crudely speaking, a necromancer draws on the powers of death, so, in that case, a suitable donor (voluntary or not) would have to be found (it may seem like a contradiction to speak about healing with death essences, but, for the sake of simplicity, I'll leave it at that without an explanation. Suffice it to say it can be done, though not directly). A life magician, in contrast, would be able to realign the energies of the target and tend to their injury on the ethereal level, in turn hurting nobody and gaining what they desired. A summoner would send a spirit of some sort (be it demon, angel, geist, or some other kind of sprite) to the person in question, and so on and so forth for the castes as may be applicable. All possible variations can be classified under the caste structure. There are many different options available but each one has a different method to achieve the same result, and also a different price to pay. Think of your objective and then think of the options available to you considering your casting tendencies (which will eventually fall into a caste if you examine your spells). Sometimes the cost isn't worth the benefit, and such things have to be taken into consideration at every spell. Because of the cost/benefit relation between magical effort and results, and because of the limitations imposed by reality on the caster, it is always best to understand precisely what the source of your power is and to identify what steps are necessary to achieve any particular result with that source.

Think of your objective once more and think of how much it will cost you to obtain that goal. Much like a car which must burn fuel at a relatively slow rate to be considered worth driving, so the magician, to be effective, must acknowledge that they may not have the most refined control over the energy in question right from the beginning. Learning to "burn fuel" efficiently is part of the learning process, and something which will improve with experience. The key to this point, quite simply, is refinement. Refining one's own technique to achieve the greatest effect with the least amount of effort. Remember that these are relative terms, also. At first, even if the energy itself is not limiting when considering a particular goal, the caster's own ability to exert sustained concentration to continue the spell may become an impediment. To realistically evaluate what your limits are will prevent a lot of silly errors from entering your spells and will keep the attempts at the practical level. For example, a new magician once asked me how they could make themselves look more attractive using magic. There is a way to do it, but the fact of the matter is that, for someone of her skill level, it was prudent to simply use everyday cosmetics. Her skill level in psychism was insufficient to support a prolonged group illusion such as a "glamour spell" (the colloquial name for changing the perceptions of anotherthrough magic), and thus a mundane solution was more practical. Refining your technique is a matter of experimentation. Try different things. Try different techniques for the same spell. Which one was quickest to give results? Did the quality of the results meet your expectations? Tinker, try, record, examine, repeat.

Lastly, one must evaluate purpose. This point is the most difficult to ascertain. It must be remembered that mystic energy, like any of the measurable energies, are not intelligent and are not capable of conforming to circumstances as they change (the exceptions to this rule being arts where there is a distinct intelligent power being called upon, such as the deities of a celestial magician or a summoner). Consider the tangible energy Electricity, for example; we can not speak to a battery and send out its energy to light a lightbulb, nor can we send out a mystic energy to blindly perform a goal. Instead, we set up the circumstances (wiring, switch, and lightbulb) which will cause the energy to perform usefully, then introduce the energy to a given situation (toggle the switch) to get the desired effect (shining lightbulb). Setting up the circumstances for a Fame spell, for example, would be (most importantly) to identify that it is not really "fame", as a thing, that we have to focus on in the first place. "Fame" is a term we use to note the fact that many people know of a single entity (logo, person, corporation, deity, etc). To achieve fame, then, is not to send out an energy to bring fame to you as though it were a thing to be found, but rather to assist in realising the components of fame, which could be (as another example) to influence people around you to take notice of your presence, which is a form of mind control, which is magecraft, which is psychoscriptive intervention (Psi). The upshot of all that is that your image or personality is impressed upon the minds of those that took notice of you, which contributes to fame (a concept), which is the ultimate success of the spell. This might be an impractical or outright silly example, but hopefully it effectively illustrates the means of evaluating a spell's purpose and how to go about using magic to attain that goal. A lot of the confusion in magic, in every facet and in every discipline of any path or type of practice, is simply understanding desires and evaluating language. Just like "fame" isn't a single thing, but rather the result of many factors, critically analysing one's spell goals and comparing those to personal desires can reveal many things. As George Orwell said in his excellent article Politics and the English Language, "[Language] becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts." Either way, one must be very cautious when deciding what their purpose is and in analysing it until it can be broken down into component parts.

When you are ready to proceed, prepare yourself mentally. You must be prepared for real results, for the gravity of what you're about to do, and for the manipulation of the occult energies you have studied through the use of the exercise set out in the Beginning 2 page. Clear your mind of disruptive thoughts that will distract you from concentrating 100% on your magical task at hand. Direct Magic and the effectiveness of spells cast using its methods is entirely dependant on the mental strength of the magician, so ensure that there are no lagging thoughts about dinner, what time it is, or where you left your pen.

To cast the spell, think again of your Power Source, Proficiency, and Purpose. Think of it vigourously, vividly, and precisely. Move the energies available and let it naturally flow in proper proportions to produce a single effect. Believe it or not, that's it. That's all there is to casting a spell. In theory, it is very simple. That is the benefit of spellcasting using Direct Magic: less time fussing over stick and drawing measurements and more time spent performing spells that work. As a bit of a dampener to this point, however, it should be noted that the success or failure of a spell relies heavily on the conditioning and mental resilience of the caster and that having hundreds or thousands of early failures while getting used to the system is quite common. Failure is a learning experience as well, but often the repeated failures of early attempts stops many magicians from flourishing under this pure and simple form of casting. Keep at it and eventually the spells will start to work. This is the one thing that occultists starting from scratch with this system much cling to and remember at all times. Eventually, when you find the winning combination of factors, the spells will start to work. The question is not if they work, but when. The rewards of this art go to the patient, disciplined, and studious practitioner. It can be a frustrating process, but it does work with practice. Some people are lucky and get it the first time and some will not find their method until the one-hundred and first time. It just depends on how accurately you have carried out these steps, the resilience of your focus, and the conditions available in a given situation which are and are not manipulable.


Everything that has a (born) beginning has an end (in death).

Tylko jedna mała uwaga nie każdy zna angielski i tak z przyzwoitości aby nie posądzili o pójście na łatwiznę można by było wrzucać tekst przetłumaczony ale po za tym brak jakich kol wiek zastrzeżeń i bardzo dobrze że wrzuciłeś tu ten artykuł
