Spell Preferences are the time and location when a spell may be cast. Spells may actually be cast any time of the day, but depending on the type and intent of the spell, maximum effect may be utilized by following spell preferences.
Spells are cast in either two locations: Indoors (In), or Outdoors (Out).
Indoor locations are usually used for In-Subj spell types. This is because the walls that enclose the caster help redirect the energy back to the caster. When a spell is cast, energy is released, and configurations are changed. Enclosing the caster indoors will make sure that the released energy and the configurations changed will remain with the caster, and will not accidentally affect third persons.
Outdoor locations on the other hand are usually reserved for Out-Obj spell types. With no walls to hold the energy, everything is spewed outward. Add that to the fact that the great outdoors gives you unlimited access to all the manna you need. Well, not really unlimited access, but it does allow you all the manna you may require to cast a spell successfully.
The time when a spell may be cast depends on the light source, which is usually the main source of manna for a spell. This will be discussed in the next post.

Spell Types
*Because I wasn't able to post during the September Full Moon, as scheduled, I shall have two October posts to make up for it.
These are the three basic spell types:
An Outward-Objective spell or charm is directed obviously outside yourself. Toward others. A spell to make someone fall for you (this is just an example, however. I would not advise anyone to attempt a spell to make someone fall for you. There are other approaches for that), being directed at a specific third person, is an Out-Obj spell. So are spells to influence the behavior of others, or to change someone's mindset.
An Inward-Subjective spell or charm is directed toward yourself. These include spells to make you quit smoking, spells to make you quit drugs, or spells to help you pass an exam.
A Reciprocal spell or charm is a combination of an Out-Obj and an In-Subj. It is one which affects both a third person, as well as the caster. Technically, all spells are Reciprocal, since the caster cannot pull one off without making a sacrifice. But more specific examples of a Reciprocal spell include spells to make peace with your enemy, or spells for success in group endeavors.
