I am going to summoning a couple of bhootas and pretas (which can be roughly translated to ghosts) for baneful magic. So can I expect imposters in such cases? How can confirm it? I don’t have the sigil, but I do have their name and the complete ritual specific to that bhoota and preta
Sigils come from the Western medieval grimoiric tradition so it’s normal that you wouldn’t have a sigil for a ghost. You can expect imposter and parasites with any kind of summoning imo. There’s a tutorial here for detecting them you could look at:
