bad metaphysics may lead people to think there’s a relevant difference between praying to God and attempting to summon demons
What’s wrong with the metaphysics? I figured that one of the most powerful magicks developed by the Christians is a system for addressing only the demons who are actually God (using relatively rigid designators like the Word, the Form of the Good, &c.). The biggest reason I’m suspicious of the other Indo-European religions is that they don’t advertise that they’ve developed any such system.
