I love it, particularly "evocative" and "invocative" cases, and the like.

What about verbs?  You'd have to have subjunctive moods denoting events
that will not happen unless someone magickally influences them to.  An
imperative strictly for spirits.  Perhaps a separate future tense for
actions divined to happen.  i.e. "I will go to the ball." versus "I (have
seen in my crystal ball that I) will go to the ball."  Call it, maybe,
the prophetic future?
