Terror Tales #30

A story that evokes inescapable real events. The magician and those who seek his help are primarily concerned with personal gain, indifferent to the harmful effects on others caused by their actions and the actions of others like them—human beings devoid of all human feeling.Our friend couldn't contain his ever-growing curiosity about the book "e;Shams al-Ma'arif."e; One day, after finishing his first-year university exams, he decided to go to the old library and inquire about the book. Although he only managed to obtain a counterfeit copy, he was overjoyed.He went home, hid the book, and waited for the right opportunity. About ten days later, his family went to attend their cousin's wedding. He feigned illness and stayed behind, having secretly read his beloved book the night before. He had already decided on the first spell he wanted to perform, and indeed he did everything. He brought some candles and lit them and turned off all the lights in the house. He drew the listed symbols of the spell and waited for the signal. He remembered the coffee he had put on the stove, so he went to reassure himself. When he returned, he found that all the candles had gone out. This was the signal, and he did not know about it.
