One way to gain power over a spirit is to name it. Dont let it name itself. this has only been for spirits i have dealt with, which hasnt been many, but for what i know, that is one way to gain power over them. If Rori was his name, start calling him a different variation. My friend shortened her demons name down and that helped.
That is entirely opposite to anything I have ever learned. Spirits aren't pets, you don't just name them and they become yours. They have a "true" name and that "true" name is what can allow a magickal practioner to connect to them. This is why most spirits give false names or nicknames unless they completely trust you. Without that name (or seal in some cases) your abilities are always limited. There are some ways around this, but that is only for the advanced. Trying to control a spirit is very dark and in ancient times it was only done when absolutely necessary because consequences could be disasterous if it was not done with good reason.
I actually was referring to cat not you micah. I didn't even look at the link. I'm sorry, I should have written her name at the top.
As for disasterous consequences not everyone knows what they are dealing with or if they can handle it. And most of the time, those trying to control spirits for unimportant reasons are inexperienced, so the likelihood of them knowing what they are dealing with is slight. If it is not your average spirit, but is something far stronger, and you fail at being able to control them, the tables could turn and you'll be the victim of a very angry powerful being. No one WANTS to be controlled. Most experienced people control with respect. It is nothing more than a trust/security issue. I'm not going to go into any further detail and give any newbies ideas.
I like the Solomon amulets. I've never used them but I've always been fascinated by some of their complexity. You can tell that a great deal of knowledge and thought was put into their structure. Good suggestion =)
