Ceremonial vs Tweaked Pragmatic Evocation

I ceremonially evoked a few spirits and it went smooth as butter. While I had tried a few simplified rituals with the sigil in the mind and it ended up with mental distortions and other interferences. So what do you all think: is ceremonial evocation better than self made evocation?

I’ve heard this occultist mention numerous times that when a practitioner performs a pre-made ritual, they should alter it to infuse it with their own energy. This personalization is key to making the ritual truly their own and effective.
