Magic Forums

I was wondering if someone more experienced may be able to explain a few things to me around Free Will. The more I study about magick the more I realize that there are sets of rules to be followed. One of those rules is Free Will. Yes, everyone does have free will over their own life and own actions, but how often does our own free will get changed on a day to day basis. How many times have you been watching t.v. and a commercial come on about something and you think hum... I would like to have that. Now say its a commercial for food and you seen a delicious hamburger and after the commercial you find yourself raiding the cabinets. Its just a example of how marketing changes peoples Free Will. this happens without any magic at all.

So, how much free will can be changed by outside influence? If people say you cant do spell A because of free will, I often wonder why. Is it because the spell doesnt directly change there will? Could a spell not influence someone to change their free will by opening up paths for that person that they never would have thought about? If a commercial could change someones mind about something they normal wouldnt want, why couldnt a spell?
