Exeter University to study best way to summon fairies and demons

Quote
Researchers from the University of Exeter have launched a new study to examine collections of 15th to 17th-century spell books and grimoires that gave instructions on how to summon and conjure fairies, demons and other spirits.

It sounds as if they're just going to be studying the writings themselves without attempting to put them to practical use. Good; I would suspect that spiritual personalities do not lend themselves to "study" as readily as do, say, three-toed sloths....

I dunno, I suspect some of them would be into it. Just gotta know who you're summoning, right?

Oh, yes. And no spiritual personality would EVER pretend to be someone/something he's not...right?
