Spell Casting.

i am using 'Mage: the Ascension' Way, because of an insight.

i do not think that 'Storytelling Game' nature of that a Book prevents it from being useful with a Real Magick, or me from being a 'Virtual Adept' in Real Life. Words & images contained in this a book are still Symbols related with a Real Magick, these represent ideas.

i think that 'Spell Casting' is a 'Talk with the Universe',

Mage speaks his or her Spells using Thoughts, Feelings, Words, Gestures, Requisites, etc ..., ... then the Universe responds.

i think that Correct Understanding, Wishes, Symbols, Energy, Willpower, Quintessence, Imagination, Rites, Proper Arguments & Belief are all important parts of a Succesful Cast.

'Paradox', Reality's Resistance to Changes should be considered as well, as Mages Cast.

As soon as these are used properly, Reality Changes are as Expected ... even if they take a while to complete.


See also if You wish or need, ... : Mage's Reality Model, Art Talk ... for 'Transmission of the Art' paragraph describing how to talk properly, using many means at once, because a Mage should care about his or her Speech being a very proper indeed ... other paragraphs & articles are useful indeed as well.
