=book two, chapter twenty= how the operations should be performed ``` exodus 20:8 (niv) > "remember the sabbath day by keeping it holy." the prohibition against performing any operations on the sabbath underscores the sacredness of the day. by aligning with divine law, the magician acknowledges that their powers, though great, must remain subordinate to god's will.  romans 12:19 (niv) > "do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for gods wrath, for it is written: 'it is mine to avenge; i will repay,' says the lord." while the text acknowledges that vengeance may sometimes seem justified, it urges the practitioner to imitate god's capacity for forgiveness. this demonstrates the high moral standard expected of the operator.  psalm 150:6 (niv) > "let everything that has breath praise the lord. praise the lord." once the operation is complete, it is necessary to spend time in prayer and praise to honor god. this reflects the belief that magical power is a gift that must be used in alignment with divine purpose.
