Regular practice is essential for developing proficiency in Liuren Magic. Spiritual cultivation (Ling Xiu 靈修) distinguishes serious practitioners from casual users of talismans.

⚖️ Ethical Guidelines (德行 De Xing)
The tradition follows the principle of 行善積德 (Xingshan Jide) : "Doing Good and Accumulating Merit."
- Use power for healing and protection, never for manipulation.
- Maintain confidentiality and lineage trust.
- Approach with humility—you are a conduit, not the source.
- "德不配位,必有災殃" - If virtue does not match power, disaster follows.
