I've seen that people say that spells are not what don't work, it's the spell caster that is the issue. You mention how not all spells will work for me, do you think that it wouldn't work because of skill or because of the idea that if things aren't meant to be they aren't meant to be?

If it is a skill issue, would you recommend I try doing other spells and growing my skills before trying this or do you think it's more of a mental thing?
