Haha ok. Sorry for calling you a liar. I didnt mean to offend you and make you use so many of these little quotation mark things. Im just saying that a spiritual weapon is a good idea since spirits are not always friendly. And even if you cant kill them it could help keep them from killing you by scaring them away. The spirit world isnt always lollipops and daisies, it isnt all happiness in this world so why would it be there. Plus if there are spirits on opposite sides such as light and dark then why wouldnt they become violent towards each other. So Im not trying to say SpellcasterI is a liar. Also ill apologize to the other people I told were wrong. So this is my opinions from what Ive seen and heard.
b.) Assuming that one of you is right and the other wrong saying, 'I have had experience with this and know what Im talking about' proves nothing.
c.) I dont believe his profile said he fought demons all his life
d.) Just as he does not know what you practice you do not know his practice of ?thedan?
e.) Yes it is your opinion, but this is his opinion and seeing as this is a site to debate (or violently argue) about magick I believe he has a right to say his opinion.
f.) ?No wonder your always fighting someone.? Yes, that does explain a lot.
g.) Yes, I am bias in zeriths favor because I agree with him
I was assuming hypothiticaly that one of you had to be right for the sake of arguemnt because if nether of you were it wouldn't matter.
I did read his profile, he never says he fought demons all his life. He said he fought demons before he began practicing magick. There is no time frame given.
What each of us do is what we do. Meaning he cant fully judge your practice and you can fully judge his practice of Thedan
Yup I am young, only practice magick for around 3 years now. So your telling me over time the astral world will become less violent
There is no right or wrong. If he wants to fight demons then more power to him. As for the rest I've been doing it for over 13 years and have LOTS of experience and knowledge. I said nothing about the astral world.....
I was under the impression this arguement was about fighting in the astral. By you saying that I would learn diffrently in time, I believed you were saying that in time the astral would become less violent.
Ofcourse theres a very good chance this is just a misunderstanding. Ive heared the astral world called the spirit world before so thats what I thought you were talking about. But theres a good chance were talking about to diffrent things.
A few things to say here. Yes I know this thread is dead, however I believe the initial subject matter is of importance.
1) a spirit weapon is defined by your will, this is as varied as your imagination can be, not locked to a specific form. However your personality and knowledge of mundane weapons can and does influence your ability to manifest a spirit weapon into a preferred form.
2) look at any of the casters of history who dealt with the astral planes, for example Ptolemy and Solomon, and though they each practiced different forms of arcane ability, they both tell you to protect yourself body and soul before dealing with any spirit being.
3) for anyone who wants to gripe that I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm 30 years old and have been practicing for 17 years. Whether you practice what I do or not I could care less, if you are foolish enough to contact any astral being without proper knowledge and protection, you deserve whatever happens to you.
4) as much as it pains me to acknowledge this a physical aspect can also affect your spirit weapons. When one projects themselves into the spirit realms, of which there are several, typically they project a form similar in shape to their body. So if you are a 300 pound overweight person, you will show up in the spirit plane as a being of similar size and shape. So using your spirit weapon in certain forms can either be advantageous or disadvantageous.
5) for those who would prefer a projectile weapon I highly recommend you rethink that. Projecting your energies away from you weakens them the farther they are from you. If an entity such as an ifrit or djinn were to capture the essence of you that you projected, they could then track you in the physical world as well as hunt you whenever you project into any spirit realm they have access to.
6) if you attack a spirit being, be prepared for the consequences, that being will carry a grudge, they will call on their own allies to help them get revenge. And these beings never forget, time is irrelevant to them, and they will not be swayed
