What he thinks 'obtaining magick' means is getting magickal energies in his body and having them permenantly (like in T.V. shows and books) not just for a single spell or ritual. The word 'magick' is just a generic name for astral and spiritual energies. You call down these energies FOR spells and rituals, skill at magick is just how well you can draw down and USE them without things gowing wrong, not controlling energies insdie of you. When people think of controlling fire, water, air, erath, ice, electricity, levitating, teleportation etc. they often think that they are magick and try to make spells and rituals out of them.When really all of those skills are from the hum,an mind, you're just drawing down magickal energies (which are less powerful) and relying on them to do those skills, when really they should be using their MIND and using magickal energies as SUPPORT.
One more thing about the whole red magick and grey magick. Technically there's no such thing as red magick, or grey, magick, or high magick, or low magick, or arcane magick, or small magick, or even white or black magcik. Magick itself is just a type of supernatural energy and is actually no different to a knife. For example: a knife can be used to chop up food. That's a good purpose. It can also be used to cut an innocent peron's throat. That's a bad purpose. Same with magick. You can use it to heal a person with permission (white magick) you can use it to harm a person without permission (black magick) you cans use it to gain mor emoney (low magick) or you can use it to envoke a spirit for reasons outside of everyday life (arcane magick). So if a person says "I want to learn how to use white magick" that person should be saying "I want to know how to use magcik for good purposes."
That's all just something I realised in a strange dream I had last night that I wanted to share.
Blood magick is magick that requires sacrifices to draw down energies. Many dark sorcerers use blood and sometimes even internal organs for blood magick (some say Jack the Ripper was a blood sorcerer, which is actually possible).
