You explained it perfectly.
> this is more like a "beacon"
That's exactly how it feels for me. It's funny because I experimented briefly with trying to move objects as in telekinesis by visualizing them in a different position, only to have people accidentally knock them down, or pick them up and move them.
> this is an interesting realization
It's the only way I have ever casted spells. Well, at the beginning of my starting with magic, I did use emotions, but I found that to be tiring.
Can you point out to me some other ways of doing it? I feel like I'm a bit sideblinded and can't really conceptualize other methods (other than physical rituals with candles, blood, offerings, etc).
