Tools for evokation Options

Im new to goetic evokations, and I would just like to know what tools are need for sucess. heres what I have circle, triangle,robe,wand, sword. I made the circle, and the triangle myself, the sigils are made out of parchment written in doves blood ink. The wand I bought, the sword is ur tipical double edge sword. I blessed all my tools with holy water. Im not using any particular method, Im pretty much just "mixing and maching" as I go along. So is this good enough

Your list of tools are good, but have you practiced magic before? Mixing and matching just whatever? Well think about this, if you went into the chemistry lab and just grabbed odd bottles and containers and mixed random things together in a large bucket how long do you think you would survive? Well you might get lucky and it be inert, you might get an interesting substance, then again you might produce something where the flames kill all nearby including yourself. Since you are just randomly mixing chemicals with your eyes closed sort of thing. However if you were to get 4 years, or even 2 years of chemistry training so that you knew which was what, what all the funny little symbols on the containers meant, and how each mixes with each other, well then you would have some very favorable results. Same with magic.
