They often fail to provide a spell for your particular situation and its unique dynamics. Furthermore, many modern spell books try to impose the author's morality upon the reader and may not contain certain types of spells, at all.This book demonstrates the process of learning how to write your own spells and teaches you why certain components are employed in a spell and what their purpose is.
