guess I’ll go first

For me I've sadly had a few

I had a friend who jumped from system to system, we met ages ago n he was a decent mage.

He'd work with demons, or a particular god or goddess then get tired n move from that system.

Eventually he started working with Santa Muerte and Saint Cyprian....idk why but he wanted to leave them too and instead do drugs

His life spiraled into drugs, he tried kicking them but I think the spirits gave him what he wanted drugs...he even started beating his gf and blaming it on spirit possession, he used magic to get her and they moved in together living off her father, he got her hooked on drugs etc.

eventually he ran afoul of a fellow mage who spoke to a few very powerful Saints and in a few months my now ex friend was kicked out of his gfs apartment and they broke up

he moved back home in shame and his father kinda disowned him, having said that my ex friend had bragged about cursing his own father

heres a pointer for you upcoming mages...do not curse your family...ever, when they die they are still your ancestors and can heavily influence your life, I’m not saying don’t disown them or cut them out if they’re horrible people, in the afterlife they will be more then forced to pay for their crimes

I think the most "gone wrong" I've had was when I did the Shared Dream divination with my last D&D group. I lost three friends over the incident, because it brought the middle void too close to them and the DM's wife managed to get a sniff of something she shouldn't have from the proximity the active divination wrought.

That got her hackles down just enough to probe her husband to see if he shared her secret interests and she used me as the fulcrum of the joke she hid the probe behind.

This proved to be just a bit too spicy of a joke, as it came up again a couple times weeks later, and eventually I confronted him with the reality of what her original intent was, which borked the entire friend group when the DM was told "talk to your wife, she clearly has interests that she wants to explore with you, the DM" and he heard "your wife is into me, the wizard."

Gone wrong not that I can think of. I have had many that simply didn't give any result but nothing that damaged me.

I met a dark entity in meditation and it tried to scare me. Being sure of myself I put out my left arm and said: Bite me!

So it did and my arm hurt for a month. I was more careful after that.


A previous time, walking over a dark hill to a community meeting, a very large entity that was attacking the community came at me, poking me in the left temple. That part of the brain hurt for months and took a decade before it was fully healed.

When I test now, the thought energy flows more easily through the right side of my brain. Perhaps the attack was a blessing in disguise.

I have a spell to get my financial life in order, and it started turning me a bit greedy. It took me some time to connect the dots and realize it was the spell. So it got nuked, because I don’t want to become a greedy person.

Classic rookie mistake - ouija board abuse. Made a spirit board myself and with a friend were just seeing what popped up. Eventually got something strong enough to weave a delightful tapestry, and when it felt like it was faster to just say what it was thinking, I ended up channeling it off and on for a while. Y'all know where this goes....it was a total POS. Lies, getting us to go after friends, etc. Last straw was it told me to go make a pass at a friend who was 100% about to get engaged to a guy she loved. The moment even just happened, and it was obvious that everything was aimed at making us waste energy and spin us about. Cut it off, never again, ended up getting more into cleansing and cleaning up the mess I made.

Many, many years ago I was meditating on a Rune, having brought it into my body. Unaccountably I started to get very angry about something relatively minor in relation to a person I knew. My rage was intense and it obviously fed the Rune (should be obvious which one) because this person's car got smashed into at an intersection a couple hours after that & they were hospitalized. Needless to say I learned how to completely master my emotions since then.

From the 'operators report ' after the ritual ; '' I thought I must have invoked something powerful as a strange light started to fill the temple , coming from behind me , I turned and it was still behind me , and then my back started getting hot . Then you guys got up and started beating my back, I didnt know what the hell was going on .''

( He had backed into a candle and set fire to his robe :D )
