Some of them work and some of them do not. We always try to explain which category of spells has some potential to work and which category does not.
We can't say that all of the spells here are fake and do not work, this is very not true. In fact, we have great and contributing here who publish lots of qualified and good spells for the site's spells book, and focusing only on the bad will be probably not giving respect to their hard work. However, I do agree that some spells are really terrible, but yet, there are good ones and nobody says that their qualify is determined by the ratings of the spell.
Simply remember this:
There are two types of spells:
Real magic spells - These are real magic spells that actually work for the magic practitioner if he/she casts it properly. Such spells will work for you if you know what you are doing, if you are experienced and familiar with the basics, and work better if you will choose to follow some optional traditions like : colors, planetary days and hours, moon phases, ritual tools and supplies, etc. Such spells always worked for me if they were cast properly, since they are magic spells that have potential to work,. Do not forget that this is about potnetial, and such spells really have it. By saying real magic spells i mean that these are magic spells that can be cast by magic practitioners. Such spells do not include physical changes and DNA changes, or any actual kind of transformation. This is the other sort of spells i am going to talk about.
Fluffy / fantasy spells - Such spells are not real magic spells. The magic practitioner will not be able to get results from them even if he dedicates as much energy as he can, and even if he / she follows all of the traditions and optional things. It means that they have no potential to work. No matter what the magic practitioner tries to do, and how. Such spells include : transofrmation, DNA changes, and other kind of things which can be found only in science fiction movies. You are able to avoid such spells by : personal experience, logic sense and maturity.
