Youâll have to experiment. Being specific will generally speaking, produce better results, but how specific you need to be will depend on you, your servitor and the thing youâre trying to achieve.
Consider this metaphor:
If I ask you to âGo Learn Koreanâ â thatâs a big task with a LOT of sub-tasks. Before youâd even be able to start, youâd have to formulate a plan and then youâd have to attack it one sub-task (or more likely, one sub-sub-task!) at a time. You could be successful with this task, no doubt, but it might take a while!
However, if I say instead, âGo learn the Korean Alphabetâ thatâs a smaller task and leaves less to your interpretation. Youâre more likely to be successful with it in a shorter time frame.
If we âchainedâ several of these short, easier-to-be-successful missions together, you might find that youâve learned Korean much faster than you wouldâve if weâd just started with the big one.
Similarly, if you ask your servitor, âManifest me a million dollarsâ thatâs a big task with a LOT of sub-tasks and a lot of potential approaches. âDrive traffic to my website and help convince people to buy my bookâ is a much smaller task (though still big!) with less room for interpretation. Iâd expect a lot better success out of the second direction than the first.
In practice, youâll find some kinds of commands need more specificity than others. âPlease get rid of these bugsâ or âPlease make my headache go awayâ is plenty specific enough, for example. If youâre getting results with the way youâre already communicating with them, then why change something thatâs working?
But if youâre not getting results with the kind of things youâre asking for, then this is a worthwhile knob to twist.
Yes-ish. These servitors are very smart and especially when worn, they seem like theyâre very skilled at reading us. They get to know us really well from working with us. But it doesnât necessarily follow that they âunderstand our situationâ.
Consider just how big that phrase is. Situation in what? What even is a âsituationâ? Thatâs potentially a big concept (with a lot going on inside it) to toss around. They might get it with no trouble, but how would you know?
If youâve got a good two-way communication going with them, theyâll tell you when they donât get it. If youâre not there yet, it seems worthwhile to assume they donât know âwhyâ money matters to you or how to best attract a new girlfriend or when to add their healing power to your own. They might! But youâre not going to hurt them (or yourself!) by asking them to find out more about it or do a little research to understand. Just talking to them and explaining it can go a long way.
I may also just be more âconservativeâ about them, having worked so much with the previous generations and they may not need all the âextraâ hand holding, so definitely experiment with it yourself and find out what works for you and what doesnât. I tend to default towards providing more background information rather than less and it works well for me.
Again, if youâre getting the desired results, then thereâs no need to change anything. But asking your Servitors to Learn More about (X) or Get Better at (Y) or Practice (Z) are great knobs to turn if you arenât getting the results youâre looking for.
