Well I'm a power hungry crazed maniac so i'm always looking at things like this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/13.gif) But its just an idea.

I have been doing a bit of research into the idea that you can summon an entity into a crystal or vessel. In theory I'm assuming that the entity is either actually trapped in the crystal or is tied to the crystal through a connection of energy. I got the idea that if you could bind an entity permanently into a vessel then you could tap its energies and resources at will without having to maintain any kind of concentration to keep it there. I was inspired by this document by Trithemius

I found this idea very interesting because according to some theories there are limits to the amount of energy that a person can hold or store and it can take time to gather this energy in the first place, especially when I'm alone. But if you could tap into the energy of one or serveral entities immediatly then you could draw on a continuous flow for more powerful opperations.

There are some people that seem to believe this is incredibly dangerous and others who say it is actually immoral (or something similar). Either because having a direct flow also causes a connection with yourself or the fact that it's breaking some kind of rule whereby I would be abusing the entities.

Any ideas on this, has anyone experimented with the idea or a similar idea?
