Wind binding spell

This is a spell by delph000 I thought it was amazing spell so needed to share

On a windy day, go outdoors and cast a circle
Braid the 21 strings into seven braids
As you do, imagine a type of wind (e.g. dry, cold, ect.) rushing through each braid.
Mark the strings so that you remember which string is for each wind.
Use the glitter as a focus if you need it, and cast a gust of Magyic (and glitter) over the braids.
Proclaim: So mote it be

To summon a wind:
Undo a braid and throw the strings in the air. A wind will be summoned, probably of the type you requested (Not always, sometimes the winds are busy elsewhere).

This spell is simply not true! Nobody can control wind. Wind is caused by warm air rising,and cold air taking its place. It cannot be controlled!

Fluff impossable

You should maybe go and learn more about energy manipulation.

Well,Deliverevil, did you never go to school? A ten-year-old should know what wind is. Do you really think sailors do not understand wind? Tell your ideas to your local weather station; they would very soon tell you what to do with your spell!

The real question is. Did it work????

There is a reason so many people think wind spells are real: Gusts happen more or less constantly, but not necessarily like clockwork.

There are many claims about how to do wind spells, and they all have one component: Waiting if the breeze doesn't happen immediately. Inevitably, a breeze will come in most areas.

I read a book a while back that seemed to have some interesting information, but the farther into the book I went, the more it needed a shave (fluff). It had a wind summoning ritual involving supposed spirit animals and their influence on the environment. It also said, basically, do the ritual to honor this specific archetype of spirit, and wait. The spirit will listen and raise a wind. But there's that word again: Wait for the wind to happen.

It is not causing wind. It is calling the first gust that happens the wind that was called.

If you want a way to challenge this, just go outside for a while. The wind may even be calm for a while. But as the day progresses, there will be a time in the transition of the day that a breeze picks up.

NobodyAtAll, the ancients believed the sun rose every morning with its rituals, and would stop unless they continued their practices. It is the same phenomenon, associating a cause (spell or ritual) to an effect that will occur anyway.

Exactly, Noscete. It will happen no matter what. It's why so many supposed wind spells say to wait for the wind to blow: the wind is going to blow at some point. It has nothing to do with the spell or ritual.

Is ok to think that if yo have no idea about magic and history of magic, but not ok for a book which aims to teach you something. This phenomenon is described in anthropological books, it is well known.
