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:
  • Out-Obj: Outward-Objective
  • In-Subj: Inward-Subjective
  • Recp: Reciprocal

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.
