As witches, we use a wide range of techniques to cast different spells that perform similar tasks. It really depends on how effective we have found each technique to be, as to how often we use it. Whether it is by focussing energy, lighting candles or using a cauldron, our spells have fairly similar effects, regardless of who casts them.

Every scientist and their dog seem to think that because we can't prove the effectiveness of spells they must be make-believe. But there are a number of reasons for mixed results. For spells to be fully effective, they need to be:

1. Prepared using carefully selected materials and ingredients.
2. Cast according to the lunar cycle and using all of the willpower the caster can summon.
3. Focussed specifically towards their intended target, in a direction that is neither blocked or poorly specified.
4. Spoken repeatedly aloud in a clear and resounding voice that commands attention; on multiple occasions or to differing degrees depending on success.

At the end of the day, if a spell is not 100% effective it is worth noting that it isn't necessarily because the spell failed. Sometimes the effects of a spell are focussed to a certain time period, such as the present, or over a broader timespan in smaller but more consistent amounts.

If all else fails you should really consider if the spell being cast is truly in your best interests and those of the target. Because if they are not, the universe will do all that it can to preserve the sacred balance and prevent the spell from disturbing the parties involved.

Next we'll take a look at love potions and see where they can be of maximum use.
