Why is it that every damn sigil I make work perfectly, I get exactly what I ask for, then some shit comes that turns what I gained into something negative?

From what I keep finding around that's not normal, also most don't even need to spend months nitpicking what they ask for in the sigil since I'd get something bad from the start otherwise.

Where am I wrong?

Yes, i have. They don't have power, they have abilities. They work when given power. Just like the leds in the pic(couldn't find a better example, sorry), they take the energy and turn it to their desired effect. So if you draw it on some stupid wall, they won't have effect. Create a magic array and use them in it while supplementing energy, that's the stuff.


You give a lot of energy but not enough directions. Spells take the shortest route they can. If you don't restrict them to have a long lasting and positive result, they will take the easiest route. Which is being magical steroids. They will have a lot of effect for sometime then you will have to face the consequences yourself.
