What Would It Take To Piss Off An Entity?, Just out of curiosity Options

In your dealings with the goetia, is there ever a time when something just turns them berserk?
How do they react to insults, disrespect and treating the whole ritual as a laugh?

I realize this topic has the potential to make me unpopular; (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tomato.gif) but if I ever get the chance to summon a goetic spirit, I don't want to screw anything up by accedentally insulting it.

Although attacking is not condoned, I see Sparkle's approach. even if she was not as eloquent as the rest of us does NOT give reason to discount her opinion. Even the heart of a child can overcome many things, and such simple judgment, in her case, I have found to be the most sound.

I believe some people here are asking for a Death wish. Pissing these Gods off is Not a wise thing to do. On top of that using the clavicle, and all the the things in the grimoires that abuses them.

Very true. Study some of the entities OUTSIDE of the grimoire. After studying, send a sentry servitor over to observe the entity. Have it bring back the data, study it, take it in, and then discern from there what is the best course of action to take.

Considering all the unusual things people do to summon spirits, it is almost guaranteed that at least some of it is amusing to them.

Noted.

Foras was completely enraged at having been called at all, and stated that "if it were not for the names," he would do nothing at all,

Ok. You should have learned at that point to understand this isn't the type of entity to do this to. Coercement is NOT -good-.
Even Foras has a degree of sentience. He left you alone until now (if I am wrong about that, please correct me!), and youc all him out of the blue and ask him for sh1t? That takes more than Maddox's balls to pull off.

so I immediately requested 600 years of healthy mortal life. This made it even more upset.

Ya think? You did something it didn't like, and then you have the audacity to request 600 years of healthy mortal life? Do you even KNOW what that would entail? Did you meditate on having it? What would happen in ALL situations? 600 years?? C'mon! Don't you have something more important to wish for, like maybe commanding the inspiration for a free energy resource or a disease cure for ebola or hantavirus? Hey, why not even say a panacea for cancer! Resuming...

Eventually I got it to agree to cure a nasty fungal infection (not mine, but this occurred *instantly*) and a few other things that have time and again saved my life from severe injury.

I'm surprised it even did that.

Naphula mocked my "weak chain," and suggested that I am "desperate for a tailor." Beleth called me a fool outright. Purson practically spat at me for having the gall to sit on the ground while receiving audience.

Why seek the powers of such entities by enslaving them? Why even bother to associate??

Amon, one of the most terrifying of the apparitions to date, gave the appearance of setting things on fire and was not the only one of them to describe how I ought to be killed and/or tortured for having the audacity to constrain their service.

Yeah, actually i sympathize. Spiritual diplomacy goes a long way. Just ask the chinese spiritual bureacracy!

On the other hand, some of the spirits had a tremendous amount of levity, and a few were almost comical.

Believable, noted, and whats more, I know that much at the least.

These are powerful spirits and IMO ought to be received as dignitaries even if subjugated ones.

He learns!

Requesting things that stretch the limits of their office are fine, even if they are upset by it (maybe they're lazy?),

After insulting them that much in mind and heart its no wonder they dont like to work with you.

but if they assent to doing something outside their office they are also not bound to do it correctly.

or happily

Be on guard that you stick to the system parameters.

Or meditate on the ACT of even summoning them, and see if it is right.

When things look grim, you have three options: raise the ring, lay your courage, or strike up the coals and conjure the fire. if all else fails, or if something odd occurs like uncontrollable vomiting, give license to depart. If you use a sword, the only function it serves is to mark the triangle and to dangle the box over the colas, don't get worried about having to fight brontosaurs when calling an angry Astaroth.

Sparkles had a right to sympathize with their cause, and I in turn with her.

Forget it. Forget my post. Leave it up here, but voluntarily ignore it from eyesight. I wanted to say my piece.
