CHAPTER TWELVE<br />
BANEFUL MAGICK<br />
weakness, and hatred at once through the death of his first victim. He<br />
plunges headlong into the abyss, swallowed whole by the fires of hell,<br />
and finds in the flames his own godhood.<br />
Overwhelming the very forces that sustain your victim's<br />
heartbeat requires an unmatchable amount of power directed at that<br />
one goal in a relatively narrow window of time. While constantly<br />
directing harmful thoughts and energies towards a person O\'er the<br />
course of months and years may cause them mild illness and depression,<br />
it is not likely to bring their existence to a sudden end. Expending all of<br />
your murderous rage at once, however, will send a shockwave through<br />
the ether that will rip the soul from your victim and leave a dying<br />
body behind.<br />
The three most effecth'e methods of Baneful Magick, with the<br />
goal of causing death, are given below. Each will produce the literal<br />
demise of your enemy, if performed correctly, and if your murderous<br />
intent is pure.<br />
L RITUAL RELEASE OF HATRED<br />
Ritual release of hatred is the most commonly recognized<br />
method of "throwing a curse," Concordantly, it is the easiest and most<br />
natural means of performing Baneful Magick with the intent, and<br />
hopefully the end result of killing the victim, Unlike the other methods<br />
which follow, this particular one uses ritual mainly as a backdrop to<br />
the release of the pent-up emotions such emotions themselves being<br />
the catalyst for the universal reaction when focused towards the victim,<br />
As such, the Black Magician has less control over how and when the<br />
dctim will meet his end, simply clutching his hatred and desire for<br />
death and transferring it to his victim. In essence, he here is doing the<br />
reverse of what is done in psychic \'ampirism; he is channeling into the<br />
dctim his energy, albeit specific, destructive, and ritually programmed<br />
energy,<br />
Another drawback to exclusively using this method of Baneful<br />
~fagick<br />
is that its effects will remain largely unnoticed for some time<br />
after its enactment. While in the majority, the victim will seem<br />
unreasonably afraid of his Magickal predator after he is effected by the<br />
ritual, and his life will seem to gradually make its way into death, it is<br />
