However, these Spiritual Warfare fanboys you speak about, "spending hours and hours scrying principalities and powers, attempting to find the demonic "city limits around this place and that", are themselves playing a form of Live D&D. They're playing High-Level Wizards, setting wards and casting spells in arcane tongues, their Bible reduced to a grimoire of one-verse verbal-component spells. (Back in the Seventies, I was mixed up with a Pentecostal splinter group, very into Gifts of the Spirit. Everybody except me went all-out for "Tongues! Tongues! Tongues! Tongues! and Tongues!". I was the weird one; I wanted Wisdom because Wisdom was the command control over all the other gifts -- when to use them and when NOT to. Wisdom does have a flip side: You get very aware (and very annoyed) by all the Stupid People Tricks you see around you.)
