Magic should be specific

  You need to be specific in using magic. Why? It's like using a sharp knife instead of a cloud of mist to cut tomatoes. Energy needs to be directed where it's most concentrated and can make the most changes instead of doing many smaller changes that could even work against each other.

  You could do a spell to "cause money gain" but if you got money how could you even be sure it was from magic? You should do something specific like "duplicate the notes in my pocket" or "make my advance increased 300% on this article"... just specific.

  Specific magic always works a lot better. You need to have a moment of inner silence when you're focused only on achieving your goals too, which is when the will shoots out. You'll know when it's done.

  However, sometimes you need to specify the general time. As instead of letting on a time for things to occur and getting disappointed. You could say, 'Make duplication of my pocket notes, soon.' That works more to your advantage.
