    Spell only worked once

    Re: Spell only worked once

    Magic/Witchcraft is, in my experience, works as an enhancement tool for circumstances that already make the outcome likely to an extent.

    Your best bet is to use mundane (non-magic related) ways to obtain what you want, and enhance your chances of success with magic. Magic, in and on itself, is more of an influencing factor than a decisive force. It serves mainly to amplify the effect of your mundane actions.

    In your case, I'd say that the first time you tried your spell it worked because the circumstances at hand were already a viable situation for your spell to work. The next two attempts were hindered either by a lack of mundane implication on your part, or simply because the circumstances were not favorable to the matter at hand.

    Don't fret too much about the power of your spells, intent and confidence are really important for their success. Giving your spells room to work, by already trying to solve the problem in non-magical ways, is a good idea. The other way around works too, as in using magic to enhance your next mundane actions in order to achieve your goal.

      Have you tried texting them?

        It's entirely possible that resuming contact is not what is in your best interests, or in the best interests of the other person. As Sean said above, magick is a way to supplement your physical/mundane actions and improve your chances of success, but it can't (and shouldn't) force a situation that would not otherwise occur. The first spell may have worked as a little prod to re-establish contact, but it may not be working now because one or both of you are not actually committed to the ongoing relationship. Remember that when there is another person involved as an element (or target) of a spell, there are two primary threads and a whole complex pattern of the situational context that can muddy up the waters... you have your desires, intentions and strength of will and the other person has theirs. You don't know what their desires and intentions are or how that affects the energy of the situation. So sometimes we work the spell but the other person's intentions or higher self intervene and we don't get the outcome that we want. That's the reality of working spells that involve other people.

          The target rolled 20 on their Will save in the next two spells. If you're working magic to influence another person then the other side gets a vote*. The easiest answer is to take Rhythm's advice and send a text.


          * I'm aware of the fact that coercive spells exists. They attempt to weight the scales in your favor but the enemy (and once you decide to start trying to override someone's will with magic, you are enemies. Mystical coercion is not the act of a friend) always gets a vote.
          life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

          Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

          "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

          John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

          "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

            Or, failing that, hit them over the head with a club...with your own hands, and stop asking the heavens to do it for you.

            The heart wants what it wants, and it's not always concerned with the other party.

            I'm sympathetic, we've all been there, still, coercive magic..whether it works or not... is the conceptual equivalent of a date rape drug. That's worth thinking about before a person lights that candle.
