Conjuration Class

Conjuring spirits is arguably the key to all effective magic. In this class, we will go over what goes into making a successful conjuration rite, and we’ll cover a method adapted from the Art of Drawing Spirits into Crystals, a 16th century conjuration method attributed to Trithemius.
