Time and again I've addressed magical results, lack of, or what stands against achieving them. People will come across that in various articles on this blog, as well as in Words and Asteria 2.
This article will tackle the matter from another angle. Namely, what next? What I mean is, what to do after one perceives results of their magical work, either substantial or otherwise.
Lots of people, both practitioners and (especially) clients have a tendency of thinking magical results should be permanent. They're not. The first reason for this is that any magical energy directed towards manifesting a certain scenario will have stopped doing so after the successful outcome has presented itself. This is in case said force was instructed to do so by the magician, but even if it that's not the case any energy set into motion will fizzle out eventually.
