The Angels of God and the celestial being of the Kabbalah have often struck some magi as perhaps a bit too pure to be truly useful. Purification rituals, prayer to God, and requesting holy or divine assistance in containing demons, as a Cleric might, strikes some as too much for too little. Furthermore, supplication to any deity to fight with or control another is seen as an ethereal injustice of the most intense kind. In the tradition of direct magics, a counterbalance was born to work with the spirits instead of against them -- as a sort of synergistic cooperation rather than playing "bigger guns" between Demons/Angels and God/Gods. The practice of conjuring using direct magic stems back to the idea of pacts between the spirit and Conjurer. While most methods of the time call on God or higher spirits to watch over the Conjurer, the idea developed that instead of fighting with spirits much too high for one's own capability, perhaps a greater number of lesser spirits could be called for the same effect. These spirits that would be called would not be as lofty as the supposed "Dukes" and "Kings" of the Solomonic tradition, but would rather be what is now referred to as Terrestrial Demons. These demons, then, would not be imposed upon with their supposedly stronger counterparts, but would be given an opportunity to their will as usual in a situation which is pointed out by the Conjurer. If one wanted to see the death of another person, for example, instead of following the windy and God-fearing rituals of Solomon or creating trinkets and adhering to the purity rituals of Abramelin, the Conjurer would call a lesser demon of death and simply point out the target. Since this is a demon of death, which in the natural order of things would be in the business of causing death anyhow, the Conjurer only asks that their particular instance be considered before the demon returns to random works. The demon obeys, in this case, not because they are compelled to by force but because they are compelled to obey their own nature. A demon of greed fosters greed, and that is its nature, and likewise a demon of lust fosters lust and that is its self-imposed duty. The trick then, as you may have wondered by now, is how the Conjurer might avoid becoming the victim rather than the guide of these entities. The secret is in synergy. Whereas the arrogant high magicians command demons in the name of God, the Conjurer submits their mind totally to the nature of their wish before attempting to summon. To stay with the same examples, a Conjurer would allow themselves to think of greed, meditiate on greed, feel of greed, and be consumed with greed during their pre-summoning preparations instead of attempting to purify themselves. They almost become the very essence of the demon they wish to make use of. This demonic synergy then is "vibrated" when the Conjurer is ready. No circle is cast, no words are said -- only the emanations of the essence of the demons they wish to attract is radiated. This spiritual homing beacon may attract from one to many legions of spirits which are intent on increasing their dominion. Having come to the Conjurer, who is already "pure" in their estimation, they will seek a new target. This is when the Conjurer emanates what a good target would be. The demons then leave the Conjurer to fulfil this new task and spread their dominion, and the Conjurer may relax and recover if they are able without having to worry about angry demons or closing circles or banishing or any other form of abrasive control methods. These are the details of the execution of a very touchy art. Any level of demon accessible to the ritual magi/mage is also available to the direct magicuser, but the preparation required is more intense. For this highwire, there is no safety net except your own skill. The price of summoning while unprepared is to become the target rather than assigning the target. Be diligent in your thoughts before attemping this art lest damnation may follow close at your heels. It should also be noted that this method of conjuring is said to also work for angels. Instead of directly asking God, the purity of the Conjurer in question is said to be all that is necessary to work a divine purpose with the power of angelic beings. This is also true for Olympic spirits, and many other types of other-worldly beings. It must only be kept in mind that the spirits summoned examine the mind of the Conjurer for purity, and based on that they will execute a work in the target the Conjurer dictates or else target the Conjurer themself.
