A Fishing Failure
https://lostianvs.dreamwidth.org/8024.html
Wherein I fail to adapt a spell to catch fish from Picatrix and get laughed at by some river fish.
CliffsNotes
Combine Jupiter, Luna, Mercury, and Pisces to attract and trap fish.
Over committing your attention to the trap and forgetting about the actual goal (the fish!) is a recipe for failure.
Natural magic talismans show potential as reservoirs to save botanically sourced power for later use.
This operation is one of many standard approaches to celestial magic elaborated in Book II of Agrippa and Picatrix (one of Agrippa's primary sources). This is definitely the hard way to catch a fish, but I was interested in experimentation. I can imagine tweaking this spell in the future to catch or ensnare other targets (assuming I can make it work in the first place).
