I have a question about the rule of three.
First, the rule of threes states that whatever you energy you send into the universe will return to you with three times as much force, correct. Or is that utterly wrong? Does that mean if you use Magick to help someone, in time around three times as much good will come your way? Or is it a rule that applies only to Magick used for ill?
Were someone to use Magick to inflect harm upon themselves, would they then bring about good fortune at some later date, or would the person then suffer again from the rule of three? Or would it be that nothing would happen?
Then, if it was that someone made a spell, and most of that spell involved harming another, yet a part of the spell harmed the caster, would that then weaken the effects of the rule of three?

I look forward to receiving an answer.
