I have my ritual… now am I brave enough to see what could happen?

==February 5 2022==

I cast the ritual. The Beggar's Prayer was straightforward and the magic was simple. I could feel it swirling around me. I saw slivers of light form as I touched each card. It chanted for 5 minutes straight, trying to get my hands to pull the cards to finish the ritual. I was shaking… my breath caught in my throat. It felt like eternity as I grabbed the deck. The two cards I pulled powered my ritual and the 5C was blank for a moment. The room was still for a moment and my panic gave way to absolute quiet. And then sitting in front of me was a band of bills. $4000 dollars… enough to cover the cost of Edna's next month's rent on the Sage Cauldron plus enough to stock Kyle's fridge for a few weeks. It was exactly what I asked for.

The silence was broken as a dark winged shadow fluttered behind me. I spun around wildly but saw nothing. A deep rasping voice rang out, "that spell was beneath my abilities! Call on a lesser spirit for such paltry matters. I do not wish to be bothered if the limits of your ambition are so miniscule." The voice was ringing from every corner of the room, shaking the lights and rattling the walls. "You bound me to your service for four great tasks, four grand works. This was an inconvenience, a chore, a minor errand, not what I was summoned for. You have a divining tool in your hands. Use it! Ask how to easily gain money next time or bind a minor servitor demon into the deck for such menial jobs. If you call on me again for such trivial matters I will destroy whatever it is you're trying to save!"
