Area influence

Thank you, that's how I view it, and I also have a personal policy which is like this, "If you are trying to do something, and you look up information on how to do what you arehoping and you go and perform the actions or procedure outlined and you get the same results as outlined, in what you found, would you argue with your own eyes?" That's my reasoning, now, out of curiosity, do you know of any types of magic that might help me to influence the physcial plane?
