Okay. Here are the bare bones of my proposed ritual. I'll probably come up with a load of refinements, but this'll do for starters.
The Equiptment:
One copy of the periodic table (wipe clean if poss).
One Ohm's law magic triangle, which looks sort of like:
V
-
I|R
Three candles, blue for copper, silver for silicon, white for electricity.
A magic wand- possibly metal, or something I can give a static charge to. Or come to think of it, I've always wanted one of those laser pointers...
Any clothes/jewelery I deem appropriate.
The periodic table is used as an altar cloth, representing the chemical foundation of modern electronics. The Ohm's law thingie goes on top, with the blue candle at the left corner, the silver candle at the right corner, and the white candle at the apex.
The clothes/jewelery look rilly, rilly kewel.
I reckon I'll kick off with the vortex rite (always a crowd pleaser).
The Palaver:
(Lighting blue candle) To me, oh spirits of the element Copper!
(Lighting silver candle) To me, oh spirits of the element Silicon!
(Lighting white candle) To me, oh elemental lords of electricity!
(touching wand to letter V) By the power of the Volt, I invoke Potential
(touching wand to letter I) By the power of the Amp, I invoke Flow
(touching wand to letter R) By the power of the Ohm, I invoke Focus.
(Raising wand above head, and visualizing electricity flowing down it and into the magickian)
Io electron!
Io positron!
Io neutron!
Grant me success in my coming trial!
The magickian bows politely, then blows out all the candles whist thinking Nice Thoughts about the relevant spirits. All is then cleared away before anyone cometh in and summoneth the Men in White Coats.
Did someone say "banish with laughter?" |

I've an exam resit coming up next month and I'm planning a nice big juicy ritual to ensure that all goes well. (And yes, I studied- I'd have passed that sucker the first time round if I hadn't chucked an epileptic fit half-an-hour into the exam.)

(Or am I thinking old-skool chemistry?)
