Article 89 - Spell
A Summons Spell seeks to summons a spirit, usually for the purpose of a necromancy ritual, while a Banish Spell seeks to banish a spirit from sight.
While many Spells may be invoked with the intention of some positive outcome, all Spells are considered as a whole a negative action on account of the fraudulent nature of most words and rituals, the generally high ignorance of the operator(s) invoking such Spells, the lack of respect to spirits and the Divine and the lack of consent and right of free will of those attempted to be spelled.
Contrary to the false presumptions claimed within magic texts, a Spell is not required to counteract a Spell. This is because ignorance cannot trump ignorance. Instead knowledge, prayer, confession and exposure are infinitely more powerful tools.
The strength of Spells as with the strength of any kind of Magic is the same as any Cult, in promoting general ignorance amongst the population to promote superstition and fear.
