Visualization in spell casting- How does it work?

[Jay641]

I read all the time about how important visualization is when casting a spell. I am fairly good at visualizing and fantasizing, but that doesn’t mean what you imagine is going to come true.

And I’d research the history, and immerse myself in all things to do with the practical side, then look …

That’s not the same thing as using the magical imagination. You weren’t visualizing with energy and intention.
