A Magus who understands the transforming influence of the Power and the one-way nature of its movement must always provide both a way for the Power to be received and a way for it to flow out.
For a Magus focused on the efficiency of his Way, deciding on the criterion of “success” for a summoning, or for any other “visual” Ritual, is an important part of preparing the Ritual itself.
The Magus strives for the maximum of understanding, the fullness of feeling, and a high intensity of will, never content with smoldering, but in need of a bright burning.

In the art of carving Runes, two skills are of great importance—skills that are, in general, essential components of the Magus’s Way: the ability to timely smooth or to sharpen corners.
The Magus must avoid both excessive “immersion” in events and excessive detachment from them, not falling into the traps of either everyday bustle or the barren, impotent contemplation of pure spirit.
Runes can be equally both an instrument for transforming the “external” world, the Macrocosm, and a system for ordering the flows of mind in the Psychocosmos.
The question the Magus must constantly ask himself should be: “Am I missing my chance right now?”.
A human being is a Microcosm, a self-sufficient system, and no one and nothing can add to or take anything away from that system unless it itself allows it.
