The difference between a spell you buy and a spell you do for yourself is like the difference between a home made cake and a store bought one. The store bought cake may look nicer, but when you bite into it the taste is disappointing. The flavour isn't as tasty as the outside promises. Something is missing.

The cake you bake at home may not look as professional but it is fresher and more satisfying. Not only that, but it has intangible benefits because those that share it with you know you went to extra effort for them. The "ripples" spread further as a result.

So why would someone think a bought spell is better? For the same reason some people think store bought cakes are better. They lack the confidence to believe that it will work because it was not carried out by an "expert."

The truth is that you are the expert when it comes to your own life, and a spell you have put effort into will spread the ripples further and in ways that no outsider can. There are plenty of spells freely available on the internet and in the library. As it says in the Bible, "The Lord helps those who help themselves."
